| Summary |
"In Juggling, Stewart Lawrence Sinclair explores the 4,000 year history and practice of juggling as seen through his life as a juggler. Sinclair-who learned to juggle as a child and paid his way through college by busking-shares his experiences of taking up juggling after an episode of suicidal ideation, his time juggling on the streets and, ultimately, finding comfort in juggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many ways, this is a book about loss and recovery. From his own juggling story to clowns braving military checkpoints in Bosnia and Rwanda to perform in refugee camps to contemporary avant-garde performances, Sinclair shows how the universal language of juggling provides joy as well as a respite from difficulties during hard times."-- Provided by publisher |
