List members may be interested in a recent novel by (I think) Martin  Amis,
The Arrow of Time, which was about a Nazi war criminal--dying on the
operating
table and suddenly beginning to live his life backwards, knowing  nothing
about what he had done and eventually figuring it  out. Interesting.  I
"read" it
as an audio-book and it was truly  disorienting since even conversations
happened in reverse occasionally.   Wonder what Twain would have thought
about it?
