Explanation In Favor Of Books Nobody Move

From the National Book Award–winning, bestselling author of Tree of Smoke comes a provocative thriller set in the American West. Nobody Move, which first appeared in the pages of Playboy, is the story of an assortment of lowlifes in Bakersfield, California, and their cat-and-mouse game over $2.3 million. Touched by echoes of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, Nobody Move is at once an homage to and a variation on literary form. It salutes one of our most enduring and popular genres—the American crime novel—but with a grisly humor and outrageousness that are Denis Johnson’s own. Sexy, suspenseful, and above all entertaining, Nobody Move shows one of our greatest novelists at his versatile best.

Column Out Of Books Nobody Move

Of Johnson's work, Jesus' Son is my favorite and Nobody Move is my most recent. I'll have to read a second time to confirm my suspicion that Johnson's humor is bone-deep as is his love for loser protagonists. They come out equal parts do-gooder and total fuck-up.This book comes off as a quick and dirty assignment, something to play at, after years of toil on Tree of Smoke. And I'm still trying to figure its introductory remarks on war.Anyway, there are plenty of lines to love in Nobody Move.

Okay, so I'll take back my fifteen-year-old pronouncement based on nothing but adolescent prejudice, and finally admit it: Denis Johnson is a really good writer. I wish I could write like Denis Johnson, unless that'd mean I'd also have to dress like Denis Johnson, and start going around in the off-channel-quickly-canceled-nineties-cop-show style purple blazer he's wearing in his author's photo. In that case I guess I'll just go on writing like me, and live with the depressing and thoroughly

The story starts with a kidnapping in Bakersfield by a big guy named Ernie. He's mean and gets the girl. (Just not the way you'd like.) I'm tired of being stereotyped.

I think it's pretty awesome that a hugely acclaimed literary fiction writer opted to pay homage to the great American genre of the hardboiled crime novel, and not with any pomo-type spin or intent to subvert involved. But Nobody Move shows why this doesn't happen much, and shouldn't. Johnson knows how to write these sorts of characters, and he's got the dialogue exactly right. There's some pretty great writing here, fucking brilliant turns of phrase now and then. But Johnson doesn't have the

Id seen Nobody Movea palate-cleansing trifle (relatively speaking) from Denis Johnsonon bookstore shelves for around four years, and I consumed its 196 pages within half a day. The dark noir novel caters to an appetite for violence of the bloody style committed with caustic verbal flair in a skeeve-screw-skeeve kind of world. Nobody Move wont strike the chords of existential dread ringing out from Angels; its environment is not the deeply rendered and disturbed alternative Eden of Already Dead

read this in two days- a perfect noir- did he write this to make a bunch of dough from a screenplay? denis johnson's tender touch with language and the exstatic moments of human consciousness (sickness, near-death, sex, exhaustion, adrenaline, etc), but packed into a shoot-em-up genre-convention.

This is a spare, well-crafted crime novel with great laconic dialogue, believably seedy characters, and a satisfying--although far from pat--resolution.
