About this ebook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The "circus animals" are actors in the theater, and the book displays a love of a backstage world that makes me jealous and want to run away to New York and live in their complicated, screwed-up lives with them.
