A tour de force of astonishing power and poetry, "Circus" uses the
mystic panorama of a traveling mud show as a metaphor for the
neverending cycle of life. Dwarves and roustabouts, clowns and
elephants, freaks and puppet shows, snakes and ringmasters, talking
beasts and a single elusory beauty all parade before a silently
observant child over the course of a single day, engaging him as
well as the reader with humor, ribaldry and prophetic wisdom.
A testament to the mystery of creation, "Circus" challenges and
inspires. To read it is to celebrate everything majestic and
terrible about the world, the firmament and mankind's precarious
place in it.
