“Train Dreams” by Denis Johnson tells us
about a man, Robert Garnier who works on the construction of railroads. I think
that the fact the Garnier works in railroads correlates with de Certeaus’s idea
of maps and tours. The railroad represents a kind of journey through time and
space- similar to a map or even a tour. Johnson gives us a “tour” of the life
of Robert Garnier through a series of events within the novel.
