Home of the Ashfall: A Memoir
John Jack G. Wigley - 2014
Wigley, who gave us Falling Into A Manhole. This memoir starts with the author's getting lost, and ends with his finding home, the sacred space where he finds joy and fulfillment. Between getting lost and finding home, Wigley's quest takes us to all liminal regions--places in the world and places of the heart--that shaped him, making the journey emotional as well. He makes us laugh at his own foibles, weep over his narratives of loss and betrayal, hope that life gets better because his did, and still does. Jack Wigley is not only a gifted raconteur who can keep you turning the pages, but one with a high level of self-awareness who compels you to pause time and again, no matter how much you want to know what happens next, to savor his insights and reflect. Do yourself a favor--read this book.
