TRAIN DREAMS

by | Read by Will Patton

Fiction • 2.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2011

Denis Johnson’s tale about Robert Grainer, an early-twentieth-century laborer in the Pacific Northwest, challenges narrator Will Patton to leave behind his usual Southern accents (so effective in the James Lee Burke novels) and find a voice more befitting of railroad men and loggers of rural Idaho. Patton superbly meets that challenge in this gritty novella, which captures, without romance, a rugged way of life long vanished from the American frontier. Patton’s down-home, earthy tones, poignant pauses, and vivid character voices create an evocative and, at times, intense listening experience.
