Dreams of Trains
9.99 €
Combining, like an ancient psalm, sorrow and light, this book by Denis Johnson (1949-2017), a recognized classic of modern American literature, tells the story of Robert Granier, a recluse whose life, spanning nearly two-thirds of the twentieth century, took place among the hills, rivers, and railroad tracks of Northern Idaho. This is a tale of a world into which, despite the suffering that overwhelms it, a supra-worldly beauty breaks through every now and then: it is impossible for the protagonist to comprehend, capture, and express it in words - it can only be witnessed by someone free of thoughts and memories, of anxieties and hopes, of speech, of language itself. This could be the dream of a train, if trains could dream.
