{"product_id":"9780692277140","title":"Backwards Over Part 1: Rufus Has Been on the Lam","description":"Professor Joe Lewis finds he has more in common with 1960s war-protesting students than with his buttoned-down colleagues. Dropping out in his late-thirties, he joins the Austin hippie scene and then becomes the dishwasher in a vegetarian restaurant in Harvard Square. \u003cp\u003eTwo tales unfold in the trilogy Backwards Over, one following Joe in real time, the other as he ruminates on his past. Scenes range from a faculty party that convinces him that academe is not for him to a juke joint in a cotton field. There are stops in Italy, Colorado, and D.C. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJane (née Phillips) Lewis, who grew up on a farm in Central Canada, develops a strikingly individualistic identity. As the story moves on to the 1990s we meet Jim Harsh, rebuilder of VWs; Joe's ex-wives MacKenzie and Jyll; and musicians Messalina, Papa John Brophy, Lulu White, Boo Shook, Bear, Buffie Pee, and The Feather Merchant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hannah Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50061973618928,"sku":"9780692277140","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780692277140_p0.jpg?v=1784731483","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692277140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
