Johnson published his first book, a collection of poetry titled The Man Among Seals, in 1969 at the age of 19.[2] He earned a measure of acclaim with the publication of his first novel, Angels, in 1983.[5] He came to prominence in 1992 with the short story collection Jesus' Son, which included vignettes originally published in The New Yorker,[5] inspired by Isaac Babel's book Red Cavalry.[4] In a 2006 New York Times Book Review poll, Jesus' Son was voted one of the best works of American fiction published in the last 25 years.[7] It has been variously described as: seminal, legendary, transcendent, a classic, and a masterpiece.[8][9][10] It was adapted into the 1999 film of the same name, which starred Billy Crudup.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5977.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5977.txt
