Denis Johnson is a brilliant writer. After winning the National Book Award for A Tree of Smoke I wasn't sure what he could do to follow up such a brilliantly written novel. Then he surprised me with Nobody Move. This novel is both an homage to crime noir and a play on its predictable style. The dialogue moves and the characters are real and seedy but at the same time you find yourself rooting for that moment of salvation- but I won't tell you whether it comes or not.
Don't wait for the paperback, you need to read this book now!
