Under the Big Top : A Season with the Circus

Rating:
Summary: Vicarious Escape
Review: You don't have to run away to join the circus; Bruce Feiler's done it for you, and has written a wonderful account of what the inner life of the circus is all about. He discovers a unique subculture and lives the adventure by participating as a clown. I've enjoyed Feiler's Walking The Bible and Abraham; here is lighter fare that is pure pleasure reading.
