Prepare to be enthralled by a captivating journey into the world of yesteryear's sideshows, where marvels and mysteries unfolded under the grand tent. Pasquale De Marco invites you to step back in time and experience the allure of the midway, where showmen and women captivated audiences with their extraordinary talents and awe-inspiring spectacles. Within these pages, you'll discover the hidden world of the carnies, the nomads who traveled from town to town, bringing joy and wonder to all who crossed their path. Meet the barkers, those charismatic individuals who possessed the art of luring crowds with their eloquent words and promises of unimaginable wonders. Unravel the secrets of their craft, learning the techniques they employed to create a sense of anticipation and excitement that left audiences spellbound. Explore the realm of human oddities, where individuals with unique physical characteristics or extraordinary abilities took center stage. Encounter the Bearded Lady, whose facial hair defied societal norms, and the Giant, whose towering stature made him a spectacle to behold. Marvel at the contortionist's flexibility, the fire-eater's daring feats, and the sword swallower's ability to defy the boundaries of human endurance. Immerse yourself in the world of illusions and magic, where skilled performers defied the laws of nature and reality. Witness the magician's sleight of hand, the mind reader's uncanny ability to penetrate thoughts, and the escape artist's daring feats that left audiences gasping in astonishment. Be captivated by the puppeteer's enchanting storytelling through inanimate objects and the ventriloquist's ability to bring inanimate objects to life. Delve into the history of the sideshow, tracing its evolution from its humble origins to its golden age, and witness its enduring appeal in the modern world. Discover the factors that contributed to its decline and the resurgence of interest in this unique form of entertainment. Pasquale De Marco's SIDESHOWS and JESTS is a celebration of the sideshow, a tribute to the showmen and women who dared to live on the edge, and an exploration of the enduring fascination with the strange, the unusual, and the extraordinary.

More than fifty years ago, when I started collecting, and sometimes trying to write bits of humor, such as jokes, anecdotes, funny verse, cartoons, and epigrams. In the course of selling this type of material to publishers of house organs, newsletters, small newspapers and magazines, I branched out into other kinds of fillers; i.e., items editors could use to fill the blank part of a page in their publication. So, not everything in what appears to be a book of humor is funny. We have, however, tried to collect items which are inspirational, uplifting or entertaining. We make no apologies for those items we wrote ourselves. When one has a deadline, it has to be met. Upon retirement, with no more deadlines to meet, computers just starting to simplify rewriting, and desktop publishing becoming affordable, I started a little publication we call The Funny Paper. Its avowed purpose is to encourage budding authors of all ages to become published authors by writing humor and other kinds of filler material. Sixty-one editions later, we realized that in our files we had a golden treasury. We needed a title, and we found one, tucked away in the recesses of our memory. Jest For The Halibut is dedicated to all those who write, try to write, or want to write, and especially to those who have had attained some success with humor This is the kind of book that should be in every library.

'A writer of virtuostic talents who can seemingly do anything' New York Times 'Wallace is a superb comedian of culture . . . his exuberance and intellectual impishness are a delight' James Wood, Guardian 'He induces the kind of laughter which, when read in bed with a sleeping partner, wakes said sleeping partner up . . . He's damn good' Nicholas Lezard, Guardian 'One of the best books about addiction and recovery to appear in recent memory' Sunday Times Somewhere in the not-so-distant future the residents of Ennet House, a Boston halfway house for recovering addicts, and students at the nearby Enfield Tennis Academy are ensnared in the search for the master copy of Infinite Jest, a movie said to be so dangerously entertaining its viewers become entranced and expire in a state of catatonic bliss . . .

Barbaric customs and bizarre human cults are prserved on the planet Elsewhere. The rest of the universe has been taken over by the Hobbs Land Gods, which means that everyone alive, with the exception of the people on Elsewhere, lives in perfect harmony with nature and with each other. But Elsewhere is ruled by computer-encrypted professors who have been dead for a thousand years. The professors werededicated to maintaining human diversity. Their ancient analogs are dedicated to something far more sinister. The time has come to consider whether enslavement by the Hobbs Land Gods is not preferable to the depravity being cultivated on Elsewhere.

However, Kennaston's dreams take place in various parts of Europe and the Mediterranean basin at various times in the past.

Infinite Jest has been hailed as one the great modern American novels and its author, David Foster Wallace, who committed suicide in 2008, as one of the most influential and innovative authors of the past 20 years. Don DeLillo called Infinite Jest a "three-stage rocket to the future," a work "equal to the huge, babbling spin-out sweep of contemporary life," while Time Magazine included Infinite Jest on its list of 100 Greatest Novels published between 1923-2006. David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: A Reader's Guide was the first book to be published on the novel and is a key reference for those who wish to explore further. Infinite Jest has become an exemplar for difficulty in contemporary Fiction-its 1,079 pages full of verbal invention, oblique narration, and a scattered, nonlinear, chronology. In this comprehensively revised second edition, Burn maps Wallace's influence on contemporary American fiction, outlines Wallace's poetics, and provides a full-length study of the novel, drawing out the most important themes and ideas, before surveying Wallace's post-Infinite Jest output, including The Pale King.

"It is really quite simple," the renowned French Canadian expert on pituitary surgery began his answer. Neurosurgeon defendant Sybil Norcroft, M.D., F.A.C.S., PhD steeled herself to hear the description that could possibly spell the end of her rising career. Even a glance at the imperturbable face of her defense attorney failed to convey any calm to the roiling tempest in the surgeon's brain. Plaintiff's Attorney Paul Bel Geddes was the attack dog who declared a jihad against Dr. Norcroft in the Brendan McNeely malpractice case and hounded her then and afterward to the point of distraction. The case seared Sybil's soul because she had her own doubts about how and why the handsome young scion of the wealthiest family in the city had bled to death on her operating table. Bel Geddes could not let the animosity that was engendered by the McNeely case go, and he relentlessly pursued the famous woman neurosurgeon in a personal crusade. After years of harassment, Sybil Norcroft had had enough, and she applied her brilliant mind and her considerable resources to ending the war declared against her. The war was a classic example of uncivil justice both in and out of the courtroom. How the JEST comes about is worth the reading. The book is full of fun, humor, anger, fear, pathos, intense emotional conflict, and tense and riveting courtroom drama. There is a considerable amount of theater outside the courts as well. You will want to read it in one sitting and to pass it along to your family and friends the next day.
