This is the story of Skip Sands—spy-in-training, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong—and the disasters that befall him thanks to his famous uncle, a war hero known in intelligence circles simply as the Colonel. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, and its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature. 

Tree of Smoke is Denis Johnson’s first full-length novel in nine years and his most gripping, beautiful, and powerful work to date.  It was awarded the National Book Award Winner for Fiction in 2007 and in the words of Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times, Tree of Smoke is "bound to become one of the classic works of literature produced by that tragic and uncannily familiar war."

"Denis Johnson is a true American artist, and Tree of Smoke is a tremendous book, a strange entertainment … Tree of Smoke is a massive thing and something like a masterpiece; it’s the product of an extraordinary writer in full stride … The lines roll like billiard balls with weird English on them, they spin and skid, often just after their last comma, and then they plunge into their pockets with a crack … The grief I mentioned above: there are very few writers today who can get that on the page, and our literature is tepid without it."  -  Jim Lewis, The New York Times Sunday Book Review
