Ep. 18.1 - TREE OF SMOKE by Denis Johnson w/Kevin Kautzman
About this episode
The episode discusses the themes and significance of 'TREE OF SMOKE' by Denis Johnson with guest Kevin Kautzman.
Good Morning and please listen to me: TREE OF SMOKE is a Great American Novel, about war, espionage, fathers, sacrifice, depravity, and much more. The book’s central metaphor stands everywhere and nowhere, like a dark wraith unfolding itself across the modern psyche. The great Kevin Kautzman , from Art of Darkness , joined me in the tunnels beneath this remarkable book.
