A Tale Told by an Idiot
N. C. C. McGowan
A hilarious quasi-French farce masquerading as a novel, follow Courtney Farquhar Tremayne's ten odd years touring with a second-rate vaudeville troupe in the 1920s and 1930s. Meet a cast of eccentric characters including a dog act, a family acrobatic and comedy act, Ireland's version of George Burns and Gracie Allen, a blackface minstrel singer, a pompous "star" actor, and the beautiful and alluring "star" actress. This entertaining tale takes readers on a humorous journey through countless Midwestern cow towns and backwater hamlets.
