In this subversively funny memoir, the acclaimed New Yorker humorist and Canadian expat Bruce McCall tells what it was like to expand up in Simcoe, Toronto, and Windsor, Ontario, crammed into shabby and close quarters with a family group that was dysfunctional before the word experienced even come to exist. Bruce McCall's daddy was an inaccessible tyrant. His mom drank to blunt the effect of her husband's rages and also to dodge the obligations of caring for six children. Thin Ice recounts the author's setbacks, sometimes as high funny, sometimes as 100 % pure agony, and shows how he transcended them. While faltering at hockey, political rebellion, and senior high school, McCall considered reading and skill as mental health salvation. In the long run, he read, composed, and drew himself out of pennilessness and despair and came to terms with his family's problems. This genuine and exceptional memoir recounts a tale of adversity defeat.
