One March morning, writer Floyd Skloot was inexplicably struck by
an attack of unrelenting vertigo that ended 138 days later as
suddenly as it had begun. With body and world askew, everything
familiar had transformed. Nothing was ever still. Revertigo is
Skloot's account of that unceasingly vertiginous period, told in an
inspired and appropriately off-kilter form. 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.
