Freakshow has occupied a unique niche in underground American literature since 1954. It's a novel which chronicles the somehow-disturbing love affair between Bat Fidler, a troubled, lonely guy and roust-about, and Fish Girl, a beautiful but disfigured sideshow performer, providing amazingly authentic glimpses into both carnival and prison life and defiantly unmasking the freak show that usually passes for contemporary love. Not for the squeamish.
