Lives of the Circus Animals by Christopher Bram

Lives of the Circus Animals by Christopher Bram

Lives of the Circus Animals is a brilliant new comedy about New York theater people: actors, writers, personal assistants, and a drama critic for the New York Times. They are male, female, straight, gay, in love with their work or in love with each other, and one of them, British star Henry Lewse, "the Hamlet of his generation," is famous.

Award-winning novelist Christopher Bram gives us ten days and nights in this small-town world in the heart of a big city, an engaging novel that is also a satiric celebration of the quest for sanity in the face of those two impostors, success and failure.

Christopher Bram being the author of five prior books, the most recent of which is Father of Frankenstein (Dutton/Plume), which is currently being turned into a film with Clive Barker as executive producer. He lives in New York City and is a well known book and film reviewer whose work has appeared in several magazines around the country.
