Collected for the first time, here are twenty four timeless stories that form Brad Delany's memoir, UNBELIEVABLE: an earthling crows. From innocent prophetic vision and astral travel as a toddler, to ghost fighter and hustler via telekinesis in his first twenties, Delany's passion for life, and the ability to write about it is obvious. Some of the writing moves gingerly, and then abruptly jars you awake with alarm. Some of the writing is just simple jazz rhythms or even blues tones traipsing around here and there but who knows what all. There's the tender birdie, (and/or deer, bobcat, mountain lion etc.) stories that touch the heart, contrasted against stories of grizzly bear attacks, or being surrounded by wolves, or falling five to eight hundred feet through the air and landing on a hard canyon floor. Could the same boy who was charged with terrorism in 1967 at the age of ten really be the same young man who would go on to study with Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs at the Jack Kerouac school of Disembodied Poetics? Can anybody believe anything someone would tell them after hearing about things like a one hundred and twenty foot long rattlesnake, or that Jack Kerouac indeed gave birth to a mystically advanced son, or that he was nicked by a meteorite, or that he willingly walked into a UFO to retrieve his childhood dog? Normally I would say no, but the telling is remarkable, and a clear evocation of a rare life indeed recanted in a true and honest fashion. Here we find a happy and joyful testimony, given by a man accepting the fate that perhaps no one will ever believe him, so he crows and crows and crows at life's utter befuddlement, and our sheer delight.
