Loved these stories, in particular the title story, "Circus", "Sensation", and "The Collective Name for Ninjas". I really, really wish that the story "Brothers" had continued on, I want so much to know how it all played out. ( ) This is just one story from a book of short stories. I don’t think I realized that when I picked it up. Or, if I did, I’d forgotten by the time I picked it up to read (now)! Anyway, I can’t really do a summary because it was so short and it seemed a bit all over the place. It moved too quickly to really have any kind of plot or story. It seemed like it might have made for a nice outline of an actual novel, maybe. That’s what gave it the 3 stars (ok) from me. A nice outline for a novel. But, really, it was too short, nothing much happened (until the very end, but then it ended, so we didn’t really get to find out what that was all about!). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The CBC Literary Award-winning title story from Claire Battershill's debut collection, winner of the Canadian Authors Association Emerging Writer Award, and a finalist for the Canadian Authors Association Emerging Writer Award and the PEN International / New Voices Award. For as long as Susan can remember, the circus has been part of her family's DNA - her mother was a gifted contortionist, and her grandfather played the role of a man-wrestling bear. Coming from such a storied family, a young woman like Susan should find it easy to walk the tightrope of expectation that comes with being an adult, shouldn't she? But when she starts a new job, she finds herself grappling with the capriciousness of life and love, and questioning her own next steps. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
