Train Dreams by Denis Johnson
Novella | Literary | Historical | Staff Favorite
From the Publisher: 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.
JB Says: I read this in a single evening. I was pulled in by the hardscrabble life of Robert Grainer, and could see similarities with my grandfather’s. A great way to spend an afternoon or evening.
