The troupe's unravelling hopes fall on their latest and most promising recruit, Webern Bell, a sixteen-year- old hunchbacked midget devoted obsessively to perfecting the surreal clown performances that come to him in his dreams. But as they travel through a landscape of abandoned amusement parks and rural ghost towns, Webern's bizarre past starts to pursue him, as well.
I got about 75 pages into this novel and gave up. I wasn't able to connect with any of the characters and nothing was happening. I also felt like this book had a deeper meaning that I wasn't able to grasp.
