Train Dreams by Denis Johnson

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, NOMINATED FOR FOUR ACADEMY AWARDS - INCLUDING BEST PICTURE. This novel offers an epic miniature of one man's life journey through the American West at the turn of the twentieth century. Robert Grainier, a day labourer felling trees for the railways, navigates a world undergoing rapid change. Life on the frontier is precarious, marked by disease and forest fires. Buffeted by personal loss, Grainier embarks on a journey to understand the bewildering transformations sweeping the nation.

Rich, sweeping, and incantatory, Train Dreams serves as an elegy to the ravaged beauty of a lost landscape and a haunting critique of the cost of modern life.
