Paperback. Boulevard Circus & other American stories is a collection of four short stories that examines life in America through the eyes of immigrants. It chronicles their struggles to adapt to a new and frightening environment, so different from the one they left behind.Boulevard Circus examines how we seem to automatically seek out those who are experiencing the same dislocation as ourselves and how, despite our best intentions, we invariably drift toward those communities that also house dislocated immigrants. The story follows the journey of two men and one woman, as they embark on a road trip.Jenny and Ilary is a study in the nature of friendship and how once developed it has a tendency to last beyond time and place. This story takes a long, hard look at the condition of loneliness and how, in the end, companionship may really be all that matters.John Clift takes a brutal look at the loneliness and seeming futility of a man who has lost everything when his wife leaves him and takes his beloved children away. Just one "perfect" day with his family is all he needs to salve his woundsThe Real Death of Carl La Magna is the story of a young man who will do anything to acquire what he wants. When his emigration to the US doesn't work out for him, Johnny returns to Italy to try to regain what it is that he feels he lost when he moved to America. When he feels that he no longer fits in there, he returns to America and the only friend he feels can help him, the seventy-four-year-old, successful musician, Carl La Magna.These four short-stories examine the fragility of the human condition and often leave the reader asking him/her self, "could that just as easily be me?" They will make you question life and its purpose. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
