It recounts an adventure toward and through fear as Tessa Fontaine performs as an escape artist, fire-eater, and snake charmer with the World of Wonders, a traveling sideshow." — Southern Living If you've ever dreamed of running away to join the circus, this is the book you need to read." — Patch Another good week for Kendall. His “recovery” may not be all that, but he played a big role in bringing round Naomi, who had only turned up at the dinner to scupper the deal. I was expecting Logan to explode at Shiv like Vito Corleone to Sonny in The Godfather – “Never let anyone outside the family know what you’re thinking” – when she made her succession outburst. Instead, he is letting her stew in her own screw-up. Notes and observations

As nothing came of Frankie mk1 I’d hazard a guess that Ambrose sent the recordings (or some of his own maybe?) to John and used the name? Holly released at least one solo single between Frankie mk1 and 2 so there was a gap, it’s a pity I didn’t see if there was a date on the letter. Looking up Reynolds on Wikipedia shows that he was pretty active on the music scene around Liverpool, later teaming up with ex-Big In Japan vocalist Jayne Casey to form Pink Industry and starting Zulu Records together, but one paragraph stood out: Recollections of the Electric Circus: "If you remembered much of what happened, you weren't really there."

This 168 hour installation takes Eno’s video and music archive and uses it as material to feed the generative engines they’ve built whilst also serving as a kind of trailer for Hustwit’s ‘Eno’ film due next year.

They climb onto the board belly-first, she below, the surfer on top of her, two sets of arms paddling in tandem. They must move with one another like oars along a canoe. Over the break, farther out to the point where the waves begin swelling enough to catch. Fascinating and heartfelt, Fontaine’s memoir brushes with death but, more important, finds life and light in unexpected places, giving value to otherness in an unpredictable world." — Booklist I can’t remember exactly how I arrived at St. Marks Place that first night. I had never been to St Marks Place and I certainly didn’t know about Electic Circus. I was just following a friend of mine who was interested enough in the new culture to find out where to go and what to do. The book features a cast of well-developed characters, each with their own motivations, fears, and desires. The protagonist is a deeply engaging and flawed character, navigating the trials and tribulations of adulthood with authenticity and honesty. The supporting cast of characters is also well-drawn, contributing to the overall sense of richness and complexity in the book.

Out the window, the seagulls were all facing the same direction. Seven seagulls, evenly spaced, their faces pointed the same way. I stood up and looked where they were looking.

The Electric Circus is mentioned (as a spontaneously fabricated supposed avant garde novel) in the television show “Succession” (S2 E5 approx. 20m). The actual club is depicted in a scene of Mad Men season 6, episode 3 (" To Have and To Hold", set in early 1968), during which Joan Harris and her friend Kate go out on the town.

Vivid and hallucinatory, joyful and disturbing—one of the most creative memoirs I’ve encountered." —Susannah Cahalan, The New York Post Yes, I have done it. I have run away to the circus, a realm of wonder, harsh reality, and colorful characters, vividly described by a remarkable writer who pulls off her own high-wire act with honesty and abandon, moving from loss to delight. In The Electric Woman, Tessa Fontaine is an escape artist determined to detonate the grim reality of mere existence, taking us on the most original journey I can remember in a recent memoir. As she moves through guises and adventures, she learns how to become the woman her mother loves and the person she didn’t think she could be: her own marvelous self.” Situated just a mile outside of the city centre,The Electric Circus opened at the end of October 1976.
