Items related to 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.

Review:
Praise for "Tree of Smoke":
"To write a fat novel about the Vietnam War nearly thirty-five years after it ended is an act of literary bravado. To do so as brilliantly as Denis Johnson has in "Tree of Smoke" is positively a miracle." --David Ignatius, "The Washington Post
""Good morning and please listen to me: Denis Johnson is a true American artist, and "Tree of Smoke" is a tremendous book . . . It ought to secure Johnson's status as a revelator for this still new century." --Jim Lewis, "The New York Times
""It's beautiful writing: with Johnson, the writing is always beautiful." --David Ulin, "Los Angeles Times"
"The God I want to believe in has a voice and a sense of humor like Denis Johnson's."--Jonathan Franzen
