Some of My Favorite People are Elephants: Memoirs of an Accidental Acrobat

Some of My Favorite People Are Elephants is a collection of short stories chronicling the author's four years spent traveling with a traditional American circus in the mid-1980s--first as a musician, then (quite unintentionally) as an acrobat and flying trapeze artist. Each short story playfully hints at a life lesson learned by a carefree young man on his unusual journey to adulthood.
