"[This] is the story of people who slip helplessly into their own worst nightmares. . . . 'Angels' is a terrifying book, a mixture of poetry and obscenity ... whether the characters are conversing with a dark angelor ordering a platter of french fries, they are people who can't be ignored.Mr. Johnson has written a dazzling and savage first novel." - Alice Hoffman, New York Times Book Review"Acute, muscular, and quite relentless, Johnson, who is already a recognized poet, is about to write a major novel.... In this book there is the metaphysical bite, the eye for terrible detail, the grasp of character." - John Clute, Times Literary Supplement"A beautiful book." - Peter S. Prescott, Newsweek
