About this audiobook

Twenty-five years after Jesus' Son, a haunting new collection of short stories on mortality and transcendence, from National Book Award winner and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Denis Johnson

The Largesse of the Sea Maiden is the long-awaited new story collection from Denis Johnson. Written in the luminous prose that made him one of the most beloved and important writers of his generation, this collection finds Johnson in new territory, contemplating the ghosts of the past and the elusive and unexpected ways the mysteries of the universe assert themselves.

Finished shortly before Johnson's death, this collection is the last word from a writer whose work will live on for many years to come.

Editor's Note

Poignant depictions…

This posthumous collection of short stories from Denis Johnson does not disappoint. True to his mastery, Johnson’s pared-down prose evokes whole worlds in just a few words. Each of the five stories is sublime. And, while the subjects vary, each is deeply moving.
