A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
An Economist Book of the Year
An NPR 10 Best Novels of the Year
From the National Book Award–winning author Denis Johnson (Tree of Smoke) comes Train Dreams, an epic in miniature, and one of Johnson’s most evocative works of fiction.
Suffused with the history and landscapes of the American West―its otherworldly flora and fauna, its rugged loggers and bridge builders―this extraordinary novella poignantly captures the disappearance of a distinctly American way of life.
It tells the story of Robert Grainer, a day laborer in the American West at the start of the twentieth century―an ordinary man in extraordinary times. Buffeted by the loss of his family, Grainer struggles to make sense of this strange new world. As his story unfolds, we witness both his shocking personal defeats and the radical changes that transform America in his lifetime.
