With body and world askew, everything familiar had transformed. Nothing was ever still. \u003ci\u003eRevertigo\u003c\/i\u003e is Skloot s account of that unceasingly vertiginous period, told in an inspired and appropriately off-kilter form.\u003cbr\u003e This intimate memoir tenuous, shifting, sometimes humorous demonstrates Skloot s considerable literary skill honed as an award-winning essayist, memoirist, novelist, and poet. His recollections of a strange, spinning world prompt further musings on the forces of uncertainty, change, and displacement that have shaped him from childhood to late middle age, repeatedly knocking him awry, realigning his hopes and plans, even his perceptions. From the volatile forces of his mercurial, shape-shifting early years to his obsession with reading, acting, and writing, from the attack of vertigo to a trio of postvertigo (but nevertheless dizzying) journeys to Spain and England, and even to a place known only in his mother s unhinged fantasies, Skloot makes sense of a life s phantasmagoric unpredictability. \u003cbr\u003e Finalist, Sarah Winnemucca Award for Creative Nonfiction, Oregon Book Awards\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Feldman is a poet whose many books and chapbooks include \u003ci\u003eA Sail to Great Island\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eImmortality\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Massachusetts Book Award.
