Title: A Son Of The Circus by John Irving Hard Cover First Trade Edition.
Author: John Irving.
Info: A Son of the Circus is John Irving's eighth published novel. The novel was a return
to his first publisher, Random House, under whose imprint Irving's first three novels appeared. Wikipedia
"A SON OF THE CIRCUS IS COMIC GENIUS....GET READY FOR IRVING'S MOST RAUCOUS NOVEL
TO DATE."--The Boston Globe
"Dr. Farrokh Daruwalla, reared in Bombay by maverick foes of tradition, educated in Vienna, married to an Austrian and long a resident of Toronto, is a 59-year-old without a country, culture or religion to call his own....The novel may not be 'about' India, but Irving's imagined India, which Daruwalla visits periodically, is a remarkable achievement--a pandemonium of servants and clubmen, dwarf clowns and
transvestites, missionaries and movie stars. This is a land of energetic colliding egos, of modern media clashing with ancient cultures, of broken sexual boundaries."
