Beschreibung

Tree of Smoke - the name given to a 'psyop' that might or might not be hypothetical and might or might not be officially sanctioned - is Denis Johnson's most gripping, visionary and ambitious work to date. Set across south-east Asia and the United States, and spanning two decades, it ostensibly tells the story of Skip Sands, a CIA spy who may or may not be engaged in psychological operations against the Viet Cong. Johnson takes the reader on a surreal, vivid journey, dipping in and out of characters' lives to reveal fundamental truths at the heart of the human condition.

Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
