But his story begins with a tragedy: as a child, Trotter burned down his familys home. The years that follow are the story of a life snatched from the flames, forged in fire.In The Upcycled Self, Trotter doesnt only narrate a riveting and moving portrait of the artist as a young man, he gives readers a courageous model of what it means to live an examined life. In vivid vignettes, he tells the dramatic stories of the four powerful relationships that shaped himwith community, friends, art, and familyeach a complex weave of love, discovery, trauma, and loss.And beyond offering the compellingly poetic account of one artists creative and emotional origins, Trotter explores the vital questions we all have to confront about our formative years: How can we see the story of our own young lives clearly? How do we use that story to understand who weve become? How do we forgive the people who loved and hurt us? How do we rediscover and honor our first dreams? And, finally, what do we take forward, what do we pass on, what do we leave behind? This is the beautifully bluesy story of a boy geniuss comingofage that illuminates the redemptive power of the upcycle.
