Angels is a 1983 novel by American author Denis Johnson. It was Johnson's first novel; previously, he had published several books of poetry. Alice Hoffman, writing for the New York Times, referred to the novel as "a mixture of poetry and obscenity".[1]Angels follows two characters – Jamie, a young mother fleeing her abusive husband, and Bill Houston, a restless ex-convict – who encounter one another on an interstate bus trip. Bill Houston also appears in Johnson's novel Tree of Smoke, which won the National Book Award in 2007.[2]
