M.O. Walsh "The Prospect of Magic"

A traveling circus stops in Fluker, Louisiana one night and their ringmaster suddenly dies. The Prospect of Magic, M.O. Walsh's (an Ole Miss MFA graduate) debut, tells the story of the carnies who are left behind and what happens when they try to make Fluker their permanent home. Louis Norton raves, "It's been a long time since I read something so satisfying. I wish I could write like this." MJ
