Seek: Reports from the Edges of America & Beyond,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Johnson writes with a fervor that can only be described as religious. Seek is scary and beautiful and ecstatic and uncontrolledhe elevates the mundane to the sublime; he boils things down to their essence. Hes simply one of the few writers around whose sentences make you shudder. Adrienne Miller, EsquirePart political disquisition, part travel journal, part selfexploration, Seek is a collection of essays and articles in which Denis Johnson essentially takes on the world. And not an obliging, easygoing world either; but rather one in which horror and beauty exist in such proximity that they might well be interchangeable. Where violence and poverty and moral transgression go unchecked, even unnoticed. A world of such wild, rocketing energy that, grasping it, anything at all is possible.Whether traveling through warravaged Liberia, mingling with the crowds at a Christian Biker rally, exploring his own authority issues through the lens of this nation's militia groups, or attempting to unearth his inner resources while mining for gold in the wilds of Alaska, Johnson writes with a mixture of humility and humorous candor that is everywhere present.With the breathtaking and often haunting lyricism for which his work is renowned, Johnson considers in these pieces our need for transcendence. And, as readers of his previous work know, Johnson's path to consecration frequently requires a limning of the darkest abyss. If the path to knowledge lies in experience, Seek is a fascinating record of Johnson's profoundly moving pilgrimage.
