Publisher's Note The author of Leviathan returns with a dazzling, picaresque, new novel in which Walter Claireborne Rawley, now an octogenarian, recounts his extraordinary vaudevillian adventures as "Walt the Wonder Boy" in 1924. "One hears every page of this novel, and sees it as well".--Washington Post.

"A thrilling flight of fancy that never abandons the world. A magical-pertinent book, it gives us a bird's eye view of the strange, violent, paradoxical century behind us." Berenson
