“Spy of the First Person” (2017) is the last book Sam Shepard wrote before his death. If you’ve read Patti Smith’s “The Year of the Monkey”, you have an idea of the effort it took for the ailing Shepard to get the book ready for publication. It’s a novella about a chronically ill man recounting his past. It’s also about a person who watches that man do this. These first-person narratives are interwoven in short, intricately written, sometimes disorienting chapters.
