AUTHOR

Jay, Ricky

SUMMARY

"These are divertimenti, crafted by a master and perfectly pitched in luxuriant bombast...After all the brouhaha and braggadocio, it is language--lush, shimmering, abundant language--that floats the boat in which Jay stands on his head, juggling swords, dancing on his thumbs, pulling nickels from behind our ears and rabbits out of invisible hats. His imagination'reads' like one well-wrought run-on sentence in which the accumulation of detail and devise circles back on the reader like a great roundabout performance...Readers for whom free-range conversation, unencumbered imagination, the making of faces and 'The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals' are not, well, frowned upon, will find in Jay's remarkable journal an excess that is its own reward and, in this difficult season, a welcome balm.Jay, Ricky is the author of 'Jay's Journal of Anomalies Conjurers, Cheats, Hustlers, Hoaxsters, Pranksters, Jokesters, Imposters, Pretenders, Sideshow Showmen, Armless Calligraphers, Mechanical Marvels, pop', published 2001 under ISBN 9780374178673 and ISBN 0374178674.
