Title: Juggling Author: Stewart Lawrence Sinclair ISBN: 9781478019602 Publisher: Duke University Press Books Published: 2023 Binding: Paperback Language: English Condition Note: Ne w from the publisher Publisher Description: In Juggling, Stewart Lawrence Sinclair explores the four-thousand-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.
