Non-Fiction Memoir
At age six, Jeffrey Koterba began drawing cartoons,
creating with ink and white paper a clean, expansive refuge
from the pandemonium surrounding
him. The Koterba household
was filled floor-to-ceiling
with second-hand TVs and garage-sale
treasures his father, Art, fixed and sold for extra money. A
hard-drinking ex-jazz drummer whose big dreams
never panned out, Art was subject to violent facial and
vocal tics—symptoms of Tourette’s Syndrome, a condition
Jeffrey inherited—as well as explosions of temper and
eccentricity that kept the Koterba family teetering on the
brink of disaster. From the
canyons of busted electronics, the lightning strikes,
screaming matches, and discouragements great and small
emerged a young man determined to follow his creative spirit
to grand heights. And much to his surprise, he found
himself on a journey back to his family and the father
he once longed to escape. Inklings is an exuberant,
heart-felt memoir infused with a uniquely irresistible
optimism.
