After traumatic childhoods of sexual abuse in a tuberculosis sanatorium in 1950s Canada, best friends Tevan and James, now in their twenties, join a traveling carnival sideshow as death-defying stunt performers. Tevan's raw first-person narration, alternating between past and present, skillfully reveals the young men's emotions concerning sex, love, friendship, and trust and makes for powerful--though often painful--reading.
