Circus Parade originally published in 1927, presents the sordid but albeit fascinating side of life traveling with a small-time circus life during the 1920s in America.
From "The Moss-Haired Girl" to "Whiteface" the clown, Tully paints a vivid picture of each of these troubled characters that make up his daily experience in the circus. Circus Parade was one of Tully's most successful books, both commercially and critically.
This is by no means a romantic story about a boy joining the circus. Tully knows too well its seamier side. Instead, he paints a picture of life at the edges-earthy, wolfish, and brutal. Fans of Jack London, Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, Charles Bukowski, and hard-boiled writers of the 1930s will find a kindred spirit in Jim Tully.
