One Leg Out, 2007, is a memorial text of 62,000 words, based on a personal experience that took place in the early 1990's.
The text portrays the chance encounter and symbiotic relationship between an intense storyteller, who is slipping into homelessness, and a silenced but active listener.
The Narrator's voice is one of great sensitivity, cravings, and gallows humor - expressing a conviction that as bad as any situation is, nothing prevents it from spinning further out of control. It is also a voice of chronic resistance, and the critique is multi-directed: at dominant systems, counter-systems, family, social circle, intermittent workmates, self, and listener. Meaning is found in continued engagement and moments of tender connection.
