Synopsis

Ray Goldman will outdrink you, out-party you and, unfortunately for him, probably outlive you. As a hopeless and struggling indie rock musician, Ray's best chance of discovering any beauty and purpose in his dysfunctional life will come only when he ceases to struggle against life itself. These are his memoirs.Scale chronicles Ray Goldman’s journey downward through the adversarial trials that sometimes prove necessary in facilitating an eventual ascent into truth and happiness. The odd chapters of the novel find Ray, now a 31-year-old guitar player, seeking fulfillment in the wake of a life-altering tragedy while the even chapters see him reflecting on the depravity and selfishness that hastened his descent towards it. Scale is about the relationship between instability and balance, death and resurrection, perception and reality, but ultimately it is about the endless war waged between our disquieted minds and our noble hearts.Fans of pop culture, Americana, Punk Rock music, and Charles Bukowski’s Ham on Rye.Music © Joseph Trohman

A strange look inside Keith Buckley's mind. From what I know of the author, some of what is in here could be part memoir or stories of ETID time on the road. All the name drops and references to bands was a great way to show who Ray is and helped build a picture of what sort of person he is. There w......more

Goodreads review by Natacha

As a friend said: I read to escape the harshness of reality. Not to be challenged by it again. This book will confront you with all sorts of ugly that's out there. But definitely made me feel. Feelings of absolute hatred for Ray. I've not hated a main character like this for a long time. This remind......more

you get the sense that every word was picked out meticulously and labored over. at the end of the day it’s a decent story. but it’s just so dense......more
