![]() After Al sees the International Rose Test Garden in Portland, Oregon (“Where I was conceived” says Oly) he and Lil decide to breed their own freak show using whatever chemical means necessary. So much more.Īl and “Crystal” Lily Binewski (a former geek–original term meaning someone who bites the heads off of chickens) are the leaders of a failing carnival after the death of Al’s father. All of the events of the books swarm into view but then I eventually shrug and say, “Circus freaks.” But it’s much more than that. People ask what it’s about when I read it. This is probably at least the the third time I’ve read it although I know I’ve read it more. How does one explain this novel? John Irving meets Tim Burton? ![]()
