Kelly. keywords: Literature America Circus. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Fiddler, an intelligent young man, has joined the circus because he is broke. He becomes the Cat Man, keeper of the big cats, and his hands have the sears to prove it. The cats - the panther, the jaguar, the cheetah, the tigers, the enormous lazy male lion named Joe, and Rita, the killer leopard - all become intriguing characters in their own right, brilliantly populating the novel along with their freakish human cohorts, who include the animal department head, the prop men, the train crew, the winos and the townies. Etched in exquisite detail, Cat Man is a crystalline portal into the bizarre and fascinating world beneath the big top. inventory #4626 Top Corner Of Both Front & Rear Free Endpapers Clipped,Otherwise Very Good in Worn Dustjacket With Some Small Pieces Missing.
