Denis Johnson
Set in Nicaragua in 1984, The Stars at Noon is a story of passion, fear, and betrayal told in the voice of an American woman whose mission in Central America is as shadowy as her surroundings. Is she a reporter for an American magazine, as she sometimes claims, or a contact person for the anti-war group Eyes of Peace? And who is the rough English businessman she begins an affair with? The two foreigners become entangled in sinister plots and ever-widening webs of corruption, until a desperate attempt to escape the country brings their relationship to a crisis point.
With his customary narrative brilliance, award-winning writer Denis Johnson brings a hellish landscape of moral ambiguity vividly to life.

Critic Reviews
"A daring novel. . . . Johnson is one of our most inventive, unpredictable novelists." —The New York Times Book Review
"Ambitious and haunting. . . . It is as if one is reading a Graham Greene novel through a surreal haze. . . . Utterly brilliant." —Philadelphia Inquirer
"Powerful. . . . Johnson reminds us that political ideals have little to do with the shifting alliances and rhetoric by which we define our allies and enemies." —San Francisco Chronicle
