| | Amazon.com: Circus of the Grand Design: Books: Robert Freeman Wexler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Wexler (In Springdale Town) mostly avoids the familiar "circus of life" terrain already mapped out by Angela Carter, Ray Bradbury and other fantasists, concentrating instead on Lewis's efforts to understand the temporal and spatial peculiarities of the train carrying the circus between towns and to find his place in its quasi-mythic design. |
 | | While interviewing an assortment of odd and dysfunctional characters, from a promiscuous juggler to a triad of abusive trapeze artists, he falls for the enchanting and beautiful Cybele, who may or may not be real, and who forces him to confront his own darker nature. |
 | | Robert Freeman Wexler takes his readers down paths that no one else ever thought about. |
