Circus Jump: A Hillbilly Bildungsroman

By Nate L McKenzie

In a post-Y2K American Midwest, a high school senior gets in trouble with the law, drops out mere months before graduation and spends the summer of 2000 working as a carnie at county fairs and festivals around the state of Indiana. This is a true story of self-discovery, family bonds, young lust, 90s pop-culture, and the pursuit of freedom, set against the backdrop of an Americana dream deferred. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... it was a hot one, seven inches from the midday sun.
