about
Poet Robert Pinsky said, "The way I remember passages in Dickens, Joyce, and Dostoevsky, I remember Pepper's account of the first time he takes heroin..."
That’s THIS part which occurs early in the book but is at its hot center. Everything before led to it. Everything after flows from it.
I've included a scrap of narration in Art’s ACTUAL voice before my narration and a scrap of a performance of Straight Life at the end of my narration. This particular performance can be heard on the Widow’s Taste album, Unreleased Art Pepper Volume 8: Live At the Winery. You can find the album right here on Bandcamp. artpepper.bandcamp.com/album/unreleased-art-pepper-vol-8-live-at-the-winery. It features Art, Smith Dobson, Jim Nichols, Brad Bilhorn
