Why haven't I read anything by Denis Johnson before? This book is fantastic. And now that I see the audio version is narrated by Nick Offerman, Michael Shannon, Dermot Mulroney and Will Patton, I may have to listen to it as well.
Some of these stories were just okay, but I really enjoyed The Starlight on Idaho (5 stars) and Strangler Bob (4.5 stars). ‐1 star for including a food poisoning scene.
