Novel
The Man Who Lived Backward
- by Malcolm Ross
- (Farrar Straus, 1950)
Mark Selby, born in June of 1940, achieves a unique perspective on life and war and death due to the fact that he lives each day from morning to night, aging in the usual way, but the next morning he wakes up on the previous day until he eventually dies just after (or is it before?) Lincoln’s assassination.
Tomorrow, my tomorrow, is the day of the President’s death.
