From 1884 to 1939, the Great Porter Circus makes the unlikely choice to
winter in an Indiana town called Lima, a place that feels as classic as
Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, and as wondrous as a first trip to
the Big Top. In Lima an elephant can change the course of a man's
life-or the manner of his death. Jennie Dixianna entices men with her
dazzling Spin of Death and keeps them in line with secrets locked in a
cedar box. The lonely wife of the show's manager has each room of her
house painted like a sideshow banner, indulging her desperate passion
for a young painter. And a former clown seeks consolation from his
loveless marriage in his post-circus job at Clown Alley Cleaners.
In
her astonishing debut, Cathy Day follows the circus people into their
everyday lives, bringing the greatest show on earth to the page.
