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.
