Review
"I know that when I read and loved CAT MAN back in 1955, it was because Hoagland himself had done what I, and many I knew, longed to do. He had gone off and worked with a circus . . . . Here was a book that could not have been imagined. It had to have been lived."--Roger Sale "It makes the circus world itself as startling and brutal as the sudden roar of a lion at five yards...descriptions that top anything of its kind in fiction."-- Time
From the Back Cover
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 scars 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 train crew, the seat department, the prop men, 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.
