By turns graceful and knowing, funny and moving,Niagara Falls All Over Againis the latest masterwork by National Book Award finalist and author ofThe Giant’s House,Elizabeth McCracken."In its delicate balance of black humour, irony and pathos, this novel is as exhilarating as the waters of Niagara, its flow mimicking the tumultuous rush of time.”-Publishers WeeklySpanning the waning years of vaudeville and the golden age of Hollywood,Niagara Falls All Over Againchronicles a flawed, passionate friendship over thirty years, weaving a powerful story of family and love, grief and loss. In it,McCrackenintroduces her most singular and affecting hero: Mose Sharp - son, brother, husband, father, friend... and straight man to the fat guy in baggy pants who utterly transforms his life. In a novel as daring as it is compassionate, an indelibly drawn cast of characters is introduced as she deftly explores the fragile structures that underlie love affairs and friendships, partnerships and families."McCracken just may strike it rich with this enchantingly detailed and immensely appealing follow-up to...The Giant's House (1996)... [a] book that bears interesting comparisons with both Philip Roth's 'I Married a Communist' (1998) and Michael Chabon's 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay'."-Kirkus ReviewsAn elegiac and uniquely American novel,Niagara Falls All Over Againis storytelling at its finest — and powerful proof thatElizabeth McCrackenis one of the most dynamic and wholly original voices of her generation.
