Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Tonight is the opening night. There are birds perched everywhere, on the power lines, the guy ropes, the strings of light that festoon the tent . when I think of all those little bodies suspended between earth and sky, it makes me smile to remind myself that for some of them, their first flight begins with a fall.Nathalie arrives at the circus in Vladivostok, Russia, fresh out of fashion school in Geneva. She is there to design the costumes for a trio of artists who are due to perform one of the most dangerous acts of all- the Russian Bar.As winter approaches, the season at Vladivostok is winding down, leaving the windy port city empty as the performers rush off to catch trains, boats, and buses home; all except the Russian bar trio and their manager. They are scheduled to perform at a festival in Ulan Ude, just before Christmas.What ensues is an intimate and beguiling account of four people learning to work with and trust one another. This is a book about the delicate balance that must be achieved when flirting with death in such spectacular fashion, set against the backdrop of a cloudy ocean and immersing the reader in Dusapin's trademark dreamlike prose.'Frames human understanding as a series of leaps and falls, as we swoop, somersault, twist, and turn to make ourselves understood. Dusapin has perfected the art of these spare, inward-looking novellas.'-Financial Times'Dusapin's beautiful prose, with imagery both metallic and mineral, insinuates its way towards a delicate empathy between the generations, as well as examining the confusion that comes with dual nationality, and the lifetime loss that is exile.'-Irish Times'A quiet, meditative story of shared endeavour. Though gentle, its emotional complexity means it is Dusapin's most accomplished work yet . Dusapin deftly conveys the way intimacy and routine are established, physical space shared, and how moments of creativity and connection occur . Vladivostok Circus is about people trying to work and create together and the solidarity and friendship that shared endeavour can foster.'-The Guardian Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
