Cy Parks is the Electric Michelangelo, an artist of extraordinary
gifts whose medium happens to be the pliant, shifting canvas of the
human body. Fleeing his mother's legacy -- a consumptives' hotel in
a fading English seaside resort -- Cy reinvents himself in the
incandescent honky-tonk of Coney Island in its heyday between the
two world wars. Amid the carnival decadence of freak shows and
roller coasters, enchanters and enigmas, scam artists and marks, Cy
will find his muse: an enigmatic circus beauty who surrenders her
body to his work, but whose soul tantalizingly eludes him.This P.S.
edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book,
including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
