| Summary: | Jesus’ Son narration has been greatly analyzed to evoke the main character’s psychological and emotional frame of mind.

The analysis includes elements such as Fuckhead’s narrative mechanisms and focuses on the role of spirituality and the search for meaningful human contact in the narrator’s existential crisis, collapse, and recovery |
