	Contortion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the past, contortionists were associated almost exclusively with circuses and fairs, but recently they have also found work performing in nightclubs, amusement parks, in magazine advertisements, at trade shows, on television variety shows, in music videos, and as warmup acts or in the background at music concerts.
		Many myths and fallacies have been perpetuated about contortionists; most of them are due to the general public's ignorance of human anatomy and physiology, while some are showman's hype that has been invented by the performers themselves or their promoters in order to make the act appear even more mysterious.
		Contortionists can create the illusion of having boneless bodies by specializing in the skills that show off their most flexible joints, with the help of their acting talent and mime skills.

		After an incident like that a social worker is assigned to interview him to and decide if he is sane and can be released or if he needs to be turned over to the custody of the state.
		As luck would have it our "contortionist" is a forgery wiz and creates a new identity every time his current persona gets into a sticky situation.
		I found that with the Contortionists Handbook I was reading slower toward the end because I didn't want to finish the book...especially without another of Clevenger's to read.

		And his take on present-day psychiatry is flawless-I was reminded at times of either "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" or McCrae's "Katzenjamer," both with their anti-psych tones and hilarity.
		But CONTORTIONIST'S HANDBOOK is WAY beyond either of these.
		I agree somewhat with others in that, if you like Chuck Palahniuk's work, you'll like this, but really they're nothing alike style-wise.
