A fan of "Big Fish" the book and film, this story has a certain element of fantasy spun in a different manner. An astute storyteller, Daniel immerses the reader in a world of a traveling Chinese Circus whose magician appears to be Negro, unique that it was during the time. Unfolding slowly, we learn about the magician's history and how he came to be, a story unto itself. Several twists and turns and references to the Devil, this is enjoyable though not as much as Bloom's tale in "Big Fish". ( ) I'm not sure why I waited so long to read this book. I've enjoyed the previous three novels by Wallace and yet, it had been sitting unread on my shelf for over a year. My mistake! This may be my favorite of them all. There's mystery, illusion and great characters. Wallace doesn't disappoint. Plus, he appreciates his fans. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Henry Walker was once a world-class magician, performing to sold-out shows in New York. But now he has been reduced to joining Musgrove's Chinese Circus (which at no point in its tour of the deep South has ever included a single Chinese person) as the shambling Negro Magician, whose dark black skin and electric green eyes bewitch most audiences. But one balmy Mississippi night in 1954, Henry disappears in the company of three rowdy white teens and is never seen again. Wallace pieces together Henry's incredible vagabond life – from a deal with a bone-white devil known only as Mr. Sebastian, to the heartrending loss of his sister Hannah – and creates an enchanting tale of love, loss, identity, and the limitation of magic.
