UNDER THE BIG TOP: A SEASON WITH THE CIRCUS
Feiler, Bruce S.
1995 6338 ABOUT THE BOOK Under the Big Top: A Season with the Circus FROM OUR EDITORS What's a traveling circus really like? After spending a year as a clown with the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros., the author offers this unique look at the circus from the back lot--its performers, its menagerie of animals, its triumphant moments, & its darker aspects. FROM THE PUBLISHER Both a great American adventure and a rare entry into a sheltered world, Under the Big Top describes one man's pursuit of every child's fantasy: running away to join the circus. Bruce Feiler's unforgettable year as a clown will forever change your view of one of the world's oldest art forms and remind you of how dreams can go horribly wrong -- and then miraculously come true. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly After several years of work and travel abroad, Feiler (Learning to Bow) decided that joining the circus would be a good way to study America, as well as live a long-deferred childhood dream. He was accepted as a clown and spent the eight-month 1993 season with the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus, which plays the South and Northeast. With performers from more than a dozen countries, this troupe was truly a melting pot, though most had picked up some of the racism they encountered here. Far from conforming to the image of degenerates, the circus people the author met led rather conventional lives within their restricted world. Feiler admits the humor of clowns is ``silly," and few readers are likely to share his admiration for acts like that of a young woman who juggles while hanging by her hair. Generally, however, this warm and affectionate memoir is pleasantly entertaining. Author tour. (June) Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group 0-684-19758-8 / 9780684197586
