THE FIRST ARC REVIEW
|
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. - William C |
