Johnson brings a little extra literature to the high brow humor-noir of Elmore Leonard, and delivers two indelible couples, locked in a California cat-and-mouse game. His mastery of elevating the scrubby life of losers and outsiders to both mythic and hilarious is a straight analogue to the music of John Darnielle and Craig Finn. Sometimes you have to suffer a life of bad breaks and torn tickets to get the girl and finally find some fiber.
