Resuscitation of a Hanged Man

Viac o knihe

"Denis Johnson is an artist. He writes with a natural authority, and there is real music in his prose."--Mona Simpson, "The New York Times Book Review" In the bleak of November, Lenny English drifts into the Cape Cod resort of Provincetown. Recovering from a recent suicide attempt, his soul suspended in its own off-season, he takes a job as a third-shift disk jockey, with a little private detective work on the side for his boss. As Lenny falls in love with a beautiful young local, a woman whose sexual orientation should preclude the affair, he soon begins his first assignment, a search for a missing painter whose personal history seems to mirror his own. In pursuit of the artist--and love, and redemption--Lenny will resort to great and desperate measures to revive himself, and his faith in the world.
