520    "Warren Zevon songs are like chapters in a great American 
       novel. Its story lies in the heart of his and our psyche. 
       The lines are blurred. We never seem to know if we are 
       looking in a mirror or peering through a window; we only 
       know that when we listen we see something . The music sets
       the scene his voice a striking baritone, its narrator our 
       guide through a labyrinth of harrowing narratives. The 
       plot unfolds without subtlety; each musical and lyrical 
       arc awakens imagination. In Accidentally Like a Martyr: 
       The Tortured Art of Warren Zevon , music journalist James 
       Campion presents 13 essays on seminal Zevon songs and 
       albums that provide context to the themes, inspirations, 
       and influence of one of America's most literate 
       songwriters. In-depth interviews with Zevon's friends and 
       colleagues provide first-person accounts of how the music 
       was lived, composed, recorded, and performed. Longtime 
       fans of this most uniquely tortured artist, as well as 
       those who want to discover his work for the first time, 
       will get inside the mind, talent, and legacy of the wildly
       passionate Excitable Boy."--Back cover.
