It sounds like a Woody Allen movie. Instead, it is acclaimed poet <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-191649\" style=\"margin: 8px\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2013\/09\/BookCoverPriscilaUppalProjection-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"TA20 Projection Jacket Dundern.indd\" width=\"294\" height=\"442\" \/>and York English Professor Priscila Uppal\u2019s memoir \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dundurn.com\/books\/projection\"><i>Projection: Encounters with my Runaway Mother<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Uppal\u2019s mother drained the bank accounts and ran away to Brazil, leaving behind her daughter, son and quadriplegic husband, whose condition was caused five years earlier by drinking contaminated water in Antigua. Twice in the first year, she tried to abduct her two children, then nothing. No contact. Twenty years later, Uppal happened upon her mother\u2019s website, gathered the courage to call and shortly after flew to S\u00e3o Paulo for a reunion. What followed was not the popular sentimental happy reunion as seen on television shows like Oprah, but something much darker, and funnier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to write a book for the rest of us,\u201d says Uppal, those whose reunions are not the stuff of television dreams. \u201cI also wanted to give people the opportunity to say, \u2018there is no relationship here and that\u2019s okay\u2019. Guilt tends to dominate so many people\u2019s lives, especially with family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Uppal is not fond of her mother, her memoir is no \u201cmommy dearest\u201d. \u201cIt\u2019s an\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-191651\" style=\"margin: 8px\" src=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/files\/2013\/09\/PriscilaUppalTwo.jpg\" alt=\"PriscilaUppalTwo\" width=\"180\" height=\"270\" \/>honest, true portrayal\u2026.and it\u2019s frequently funny. My mother is an over the top film character,\u201d she says. It\u2019s also rife with absurdity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Priscila Uppal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>Projection<\/i>, published by Dundurn, will launch <strong>Wednesday, Sept 18<\/strong> at 7pm at No One Writes to the Colonel, 460 College Street, Toronto. The evening will feature a reading and onstage conversation between Uppal and author Camilla Gibb. Everyone is welcome to attend.<\/p>\n<p>Her memoir opens with a scene from the film <i>Blade Runner<\/i> in which someone is being interviewed to ascertain if they are human or replicant. To determine this, the subject is asked to talk about their best memories of their mother, the humanizing factor (another aspect Uppal explores). The interviewee promptly stands and shoots the interviewer three times. This, says Uppal, is her mother\u2019s favourite movie. \u201cIt speaks to her imaginative life and brings up some really interesting questions,\u201d says Uppal.<\/p>\n<p>Her mother lives in and through films. A film critic in Brazil, she watches between one and eight movies a day in the theatre. And it is films that form the structure of the memoir, films about mothers and daughters, and about Brazil \u2013 which Uppal came to know as a country of deep contradictions.<\/p>\n<p>It is an examination of \u201chow we use art to understand our lives\u201d, says Uppal. But it also an exploration into what happens when fantasy and illusion crash into reality. \u201cFor the first three days I was there, my mother never asked me any questions about myself. She just talked about herself.\u201d The reality of who Uppal is in real life \u201ccracked all the fantasies my mother built up to deal with the guilt of abandoning us\u201d. It was too difficult for her to bear. So much so, that when Uppal went back two years later, her mother refused to see her.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a memoir that delves into the strange, comic, surreal experience of a reunion between two strangers of the same family, how art defines us and our relationships, what makes us human \u2013 a mother? \u2013 and how illusion can create its own reality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/priscilauppal.ca\/about\/\">Uppal<\/a> has also written a play about the experience, <i>Six Essential Questions<\/i>, (see <i>YFile<\/i>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/yfile.news.yorku.ca\/2012\/06\/07\/profs-first-play-surreal-comedic-tale-of-family\/\">June 7, 2012<\/a> issue), which will receive its world premiere, from March 1 to 30, 2014, as part of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.factorytheatre.ca\/201314-season\/201314-subscription-season\/\">Factory Theatre<\/a>\u2019s 2013\/14 season.<\/p>\n<p>She is the author of nine collections of poetry, including <i>Ontological Necessities<\/i>, which was shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize; and the novels <i>The Divine Economy of Salvation<\/i> and <i>To Whom It May Concern<\/i>.
