All About Jazz

Even though the book has very little to do with jazz, C. Michael Bailey writes about Everything Is an Afterthought over at All About Jazz: "Avery's account of Nelson's tenure at Rolling Stone and his correspondence with long-time publisher Jann Wenner, particularly toward the end, is revealing. Nelson's chronic deadline-missing and endless editing resulted in a bibliography much smaller than it could have been. Having said that, what Nelson wrote was excellent, considered among the best by his peers."
