Autobiography: general

Starting from present and going back 30 years to 1990, the book about African-American jazz musician Ron Westray's life journey is written in reverse. The writing is rigorous-flanked by hip-hop, Southern, and ebonic dialects-and includes jazz lingo, texting-shorthand and use of emojis.

Reviews for Life in Reverse: Tales of a Very Stable Narcissist

A brilliant musician and a courageous exploration of his complex life-to this point. - Lorna Marsden, President emerita, York University, Canada Life In Reverse is an impressive mosaic of the adventures and reflections of a jazz musician, a women's man, a black intellectual. Do not expect easy reading: this is not a run-of-the-mill autobiography, no self-analysis, no pop literature. It's raw, private, demanding, serious, fun, a great picture of our times. - Dr. Hans Christian Hagedorn, Professor, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
