The novel “Reverse Perspective” is the fourth book by the gifted, profound artist, poet and prose writer Harry Gordon, author of the novel “It’s Late. Dark. Far Away,” a book of poems, “Bird Rights,” and a collection of prose, “The Shepherd of His Cows.” In all his works, be they paintings, poems, novels or stories, an amazing male tenderness for God's world can be traced. Whatever Gordon writes about, he always declares his love. In “Reverse Perspective” there is neither a sharp plot nor exciting events. In the leisurely flow of the narrative, the characters look around in search of their place in time and space. The author does not bore the reader with complex phrases or boring reasoning - he is light and accessible, witty, ironic, but this lightness is deceptive, because behind it, or rather underneath it, lies a deep meaning, there is the drama of a sad human life and the mystery of its transition to another world .
