English Summary/英文概要： The Trapeze Artist draws together the past, present and future of one life to create a work of startling dexterity and vision - a haunting and heartbreaking account of a child, a boy, a man, desperate to free himself from the suffocating weight of his desires, his family and his grief. It speaks of what it is to grow up gay in a straight world, to be unable to communicate with those you love, of the sweat, passions and tempers of circus life, and above all, the joyous longing to break free, and to swing higher and higher...

Awards/获奖情况：An extraordinary tale of tragedy and failure in love, told with great panache (Edmund White)

His best book yet (Evening Standard)

Will Davis is a witty writer who effortlessly conjures up the frenetic detail of Jaz’s sixteen-year-old world (Independent on Sunday on My Side of the Story)

A fresh and funny novel about growing up gay, with absolutely no help from a mad family. Davis gives his narrator a wonderfully wry outlook (Kate Saunders, The Times)

The dialogue fizzes with savvy one-liners ... Davis’s observations of the dysfunctions of family and school are as sharp as his prose is fresh, and his debut is intriguing, touching and entertaining (Time Out)

As a performance, Will Davis’s third novel, about a man who has a nervous breakdown and runs away with the circus, is distinctive ... With a double flourish, everything becomes clear ... the closing scene is heart-stopping (Guardian)
