"genuinely extraordinary"

"Most of the time, my heart, beat, like it was trying to escape my ribcage, and not just because of the copious amounts of caffeine I imbibed while plowing through this memoir. I think its consumption just set the proper physical stage for the reading of this wild ride. I literally could not stop. I was compelled to keep reading and reading and reading and experiencing this life. I was jittery; I felt greasy and dirty; I needed a shower; I could not stop reading."
"If I can even remotely compare it to anything—there is a very “Catcher in the Rye” mood to the book when using blatant honesty and candid swearing—just like we do when frustrated with our lives."

In Glue, like his previous memoir 'Driving in Reverse,' Lindsay Wincherauk has written in his original sarcastic and sardonic style. Glue is heart-breaking and heart-warming – a true rollercoaster.
After the preamble, Lindsay attempts to splice his emotions together before he enters his dying birth mother's Calgary hospital room on a pre-winter October 2016 day. The climb is slow and steady as Wincherauk recounts his tumultuous relationship with his family. Glue quickly turns into a rollercoaster riddled with events and experiences. Readers drop into a kaleidoscope of emotions ranging from anger, cynicism, dipping past fear and love to peace. Lindsay gracefully delivers readers into twists and turns with a dose of sarcastic humour; becoming synonymous with his masterful storytelling. Only to climb again as he tries to come to terms with his past and himself as a person. Glue is jam-packed with a diverse range of colourful characters readers will identify themselves within. Glue is teaming with shocking anecdotes. Just as readers find a moment of solace, another turn fires them into a clash of cultures created by a near-fatal assault at a gay bar. Another breath and a corner slams into a life-threatening illness where Lindsay ponders the meaning of his life. At the end of this breath-taking ride, Lindsay must enter the hospital room to accept who he's become in order to allow himself to move on with his life.
