	Bookreporter.com - LIVES OF THE CIRCUS ANIMALS by Christopher Bram
		Christopher Bram, the prolific author of novels and screenplays, is perhaps best known for his book FATHER OF FRANKENSTEIN, which is about director James Whale and was subsequently turned into the film Gods and Monsters.
		Bram begins the novel by introducing his characters one by one, each passing on the baton of the story to another character from sketch to sketch.
		Bram only uses it as a way in --- eventually his story builds by accretion and a plotline develops, wavy and crisscrossing, his panoply of actors and reviewers and wannabes becoming a vivid mélange.

		Christopher Bram's novels address homosexual issues in a variety of periods and locales.
		Gossip (1997) is a novel of contemporary Washington, D.C., combining murder, political intrigue, and an examination of gay identity in the context of a media-obsessed society.
		Both books are typical of Bram's adherence to traditional novelistic plot and character development, at the same time offering new perspectives on social mores from a gay perspective.

		The fact that Bram tells these things in the story as mere character flaws and almost gets away with it testifies to his awesome abilities.

	Sex and Love Backstage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Christopher Bram, in his first seven novels published between 1987 and 2000, has demonstrated a deft hand at weaving humor into stories ranging over a wide array of historical topics.
		Yet even as Bram explores the comic foibles of a theater critic, a playwright, a Shakespearean actor, a callow young wannabe, and a woman working at the margins of the theater, he has serious questions on his mind.
		Bram’s characters, linked to one another in a Dickens-like chain of circumstance, explore these weighty issues during a ten-day period in a story short on action, but rich in finely observed detail.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: By the Book
		The result is a hugely entertaining, historically rich, theologically complex exploration of life (and the afterlife) that uses an eclectic cast of characters to depict (and criticize) a world climate changing with every year's passage.
		Bram's tale hinges on the love triangle between August, a world-renowned pianist in contact with spirits, Isaac, a former slave with whom August falls in love after they escape captivity from a group of rebels, and Alice, a pristine governess who falls for Isaac against the admonitions of her genteel society.
		Though Bram filters his novel through August with a pointed, liberal slant, his other characters are given generous priority in expressing their ideas.

	Book: Father of Frankenstein
		Christopher Bram, whose social insight and wit have earned him comparisons to Henry James and Gore Vidal, explores the mystery of Whale's last days in this evocative and suspenseful work of fiction.
		Bram juxtaposes the worlds of two very different men, James Whale and Clayton Boone, deftly shifting between the complex mind of an English exile full of experience and sardonic humor, and that of an American whose attitude toward Whale moves from disgust to fascination to a final shock of disbelief.
		Suggesting influences as diverse as Sunset Boulevard and the works of Christopher Isherwood, Father of Frankenstein is a rich yet cutting look at fame, mortality, and hidden desire.

	Salon Entertainment \| Scream queen
		The film takes as its source Christopher Bram's deft, elegiac novel "Father of Frankenstein." Bram centers his novel on the retired director's obsession with a hulking gardener who's been hired to mow the lawns at his Hollywood home.
		The gardener, played by Brendan "George of the Jungle" Fraser, is Bram's invention, and clearly a conscious and witty variation on the hackneyed sexual fantasy of the virile manservant.
		As a glance at the first chapter of Bram's novel makes clear, the gardener figure, a former marine, should be scary as well as enticing to Whale.

		When asked about casting, Bram got nods of approval for his personal choices (who may or may not be in the film): Ethan Hawke as Ralph, and Edward Norton as Bill.

		In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.
