The Weight of Loss

Train Dreams

by Denis Johnson

Robert Grainier visits Claire at her remote fire lookout tower where they bond over their shared experiences of profound grief. Grainier confesses the haunting guilt of losing his wife and child in a forest fire, while Claire offers a philosophical perspective on loss and their shared identity as 'hermits' in the wilderness.
