113 pp. Drawings by Tony Urquhart. Author's first book to be published in a trade edition. "...a life class in the art of illusion. The lives of small town octogenarians, of autistics, of conjurors and Niagara Falls daredevils, of beerhall waitresses and undertaker's brides, of bouncers and cleaning ladies, of beekeepers and skunk charmers are rendered with an instinct for the intimate surreal."
