The Electric Woman: A Memoir in Death-Defying Acts
by Tessa Fontaine
I'm a sucker for carnivals, behind-the-scenes insider info, and stories of people who deal with extreme stress in unconventional ways. This book is a Venn diagram of all that, and it's beautifully written as well. The narrative dragged a bit at times (carnival life can get very repetitive and monotonous, it turns out), but overall I loved this book and will be thinking about it for a long time.
