"A daring novel . . . . Denis Johnson is one of our most inventive, unpredictable novelists." -- New York Times Book Review

From legendary writer Denis Johnson, a novel of mystery and suspense set during the Nicaraguan Revolution, soon to be a major motion picture produced by A24 and starring Joe Alwyn

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 Eyes for Peace? And who is the rough English businessman with whom she becomes involved? As the two foreigners become entangled in increasingly sinister plots, Denis Johnson masterfully dramatizes a powerful vision of spiritual bereavement and corruption.

Industry Reviews

"A daring novel. . .Denis Johnson is one of our most inventive, unpredictable novelists."New York Times Book Review"A powerful tale. . . Johnson reminds us that political deals have little to do with the shifting alliances and rhetoric by which we define our allies and enemies."San Francisco Chronicle"Ambitious and haunting. . . It is as if one is reading a Graham Greene novel through a surreal haze. . . . Johnson's prose conjures up a world that is as tangible as it is magical. He is an utterly brilliant and original talent--a novelist who reminds us just how wonderful fiction can be when a writer with enormous gifts and intelligence takes large risks."Philadelphia Inquirer"Denis Johnson is uncommonly adept at capturing the anguished futility of people struggling to escape from their own worst enemy--themselves. His prose can only serve to bolster his reputation as a first-rate stylist."Baltimore Sun
