Circus Parade originally published in 1927, presents the sordid but albeit fascinating side of life traveling with a small-time circus life during the 1920s in America.


From "The Moss-Haired Girl" to "Whiteface" the clown, Tully paints a vivid picture of each of these troubled characters that make up his daily experience in the circus. Circus Parade was one of Tully's most successful books, both commercially and critically.


This is by no means a romantic story about a boy joining the circus. Tully knows too well its seamier side. Instead, he paints a picture of life at the edges-earthy, wolfish, and brutal. Fans of Jack London, Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck, Charles Bukowski, and hard-boiled writers of the 1930s will find a kindred spirit in Jim Tully.

Tully, Jim: - Jim Tully was an American writer who enjoyed critical acclaim and commercial success in the 1920s and '30s. Born near St. Marys, Ohio, to an Irish immigrant family, he enjoyed a relatively happy but impoverished childhood. Upon the death of his mother in 1892, his father unable to care for him, sent him to an orphanage in Cincinnati. He remained there for six years. Tully spent years gathering knowledge from the road as a self-proclaimed hobo. He traveled across America via the railways and counted that as his formal further education.Settling down in Hollywood in 1912, he began his writing career in earnest. He worked for Charlie Chaplin and later became one of the first reporters to cover Hollywood. His work garnered both commercial success and critical acclaim from, among others, H. L. Mencken, George Jean Nathan, and Rupert Hughes.
