Part political inquiry, part travel journal, part self-exploration, this is a collection of essays by an award-winning novelist out to explore himself and his life in the company of those who live on the edges of society.
Denis Johnson travels between the extremes of human behaviour, from a hippy convention in the Arapaho National Forest to war-ravaged Liberia, where he is witness to horrifying acts of torture. Along the way he joins a "Bikers for Jesus" rally in Texas, hangs out with a gun-crazed militia group, finds himself stranded in Somalia, and swaps stories with the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Fearless, compassionate and utterly compelling, these dispatches from the margins offer an unflinching look at humanity in all its complexity.
