NYC — Al Jacobs, 30, is an NYC-based writer from Toledo, Ohio. He read the copy of Jesus' Son (1992) I lent him over the past few months. I reread the Picador Modern Classics pocket version i copped after lending him my old version over the same period. Jesus' Son (1992) is a series of interconnected short stories narrated by a guy, "Fuckhead," and follows several recurring characters, all addicts, who engage in drug use, petty crime, and murder. Denis Johnson (1949–2017) published Jesus' Son at the age of 43.CONTENTS5m pod start 8m the infantilized artist boi dream / baby stuff10m my sus “The Other Man” take13m you gotta be OUT HERE15m when they do that lowkey B & E16m on “autofiction”21m writing about work/survival/out-here-ness24m Edmund Wilson v.
