Omschrijving
A wonderful writer … An adventure hard to beat in terms of sheer exotic allure
A wonderful writer … An adventure hard to beat in terms of sheer exotic allure
A delight... The stories of the cirqueros themselves read like tales by Gabriel Garcia Marquez ... Katie seems as deliberate and calculating as Paul Theroux poring over his railway timetables ... a very good travel book indeed
Mexico will not have been portrayed more vividly since Graham Greene’s the Lawless Roads... Enchanting
Magic is at the heart of Hickman’s narrative, not just in the fabulous illusions of the acts themselves or the superstitions of the circus people, but in the fantastic stories of the characters she presents
The most ambitiously imaginative sort of travel writing
Katie Hickman is the author of several previous books, including history books, travel narratives, and novels. She has been shortlisted for the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award, and for the Sunday Times Young British Writer of the Year award. Hickman lives in London with her two children and her husband, the philosopher A.C. Grayling.
