"genuinely extraordinary"


It is an interesting, funny, and over-the-top tale of debauchery and human bonding. When Lindsay arrives back home, he writes letters to his family recounting his discovery of who his parents really were, and the responses that he gets are disappointing to him at best. Yet even with a sense of feeling lost in the world, Lindsay is able to recognize that his life is good, and the story he feels he should tell makes a wonderfully unique book that describes love, friendship, loss, travel, and overcoming hardship.

An engaging and superb human drama!

Lindsay Wincherauk’s meta memoir is an episodic adventure of delightful proportions. To me, this felt like sitting down and having a conversation with a friend: it was engaging, funny, bizarre, and a distracted experience. A very true-to-life conversation, indeed! Wincherauk bounces along scenes that detail the numerous people he meets, traveling around the world, surgery, and the unusual romances that he partakes in. His most moving memories involve his parents who both confront cancer early on in his life and the feelings towards and among his many siblings as their parent's health declines. The book is equal parts drama and endearing comedy. The escapades with drugs and drag queens were my favorite chapters. I think many of us only daydream of a life with so much adventure, but there are plenty of trying times, too, for Lindsay. At times, it is hard to follow the jumping timeline, but I find the lack of structure refreshingly creative and original. Up front, Wincherauk writes that his intention is to connect and he accomplishes this in a way that is so engaging and unusual that the book almost feels interactive, like Lindsay is in the room talking with you, and he truly does have an extraordinary tale to share.
​
I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates a good, solid, and quirky human drama. I believe it has something to speak to each of us. I don’t want to spoil it, but the last half of the book has my favorite parts and I found myself laughing aloud and pondering the message Wincherauk leaves with his readers. Definitely, a memorable book.
