Jib
Halyard
Experimental Biography, Currently In
Production
The
biographical Jib
Halyard emerges
from the idea that memory, distraction, and fancy can allow
a person to guide their final exit. Through witty intellect,
philosophy, and reminiscence, Harvey Krieger, M.D., builds
himself a world where Restless Leg and Congestive Heart
failure immerse in his younger days at sea.
Driven
to insomnia by Restless Leg Syndrom, an idiopathic sensorimotor
disorder, Harvey's story is fragmentary, twilight hour
collage of storytelling, stream-of-conscious, and humor.
The tale twines ancient Judaic texts with nautical passages
under the Brooklyn Bridge, the Civil War with cyborgs
and hypothermia.
Jib
Halyard is a sailing term used to describe the line that
cinches a triangular staysail (jib) set in front of the
forwardmost mast.
