Clicko: The Wild Dancing Bushman,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
During the 1920s and 30s, Franz Taiboshwhose stage name was Clickoperformed in front of millions as one of the stars of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Prior to his fame in the United States, Taibosh toured the world as the Wild Dancing Bushman, showing off his frenzied dance moves in freak shows, sideshows, and music halls from Australia to Cuba. When he died in 1940, the New York Times called him the only African bushman ever exhibited in this country. In Clicko, Neil Parsons unearths the untold story of Taiboshs journey from boyhood on a small farm in South Africa to top billing as one of the travelling Worlds Fair Freaks.Through Taiboshs tale, Parsons brings to life the bizarre golden age of entertainment as well as the role that the dubious new science of race played in it. Beginning with Taiboshs early life, Clicko untangles the real story of his ancestry from the web of myths spun around him on his rise to international stardom. Parsons then chronicles the unhappy middle period of Taiboshs career, when he suffered under the heel of a vicious manager. Left to freeze and nearly starve in an unheated apartment, Taibosh was rescued by Frank Cook, Barnum & Baileys lawyer. The Cooks adopted Taibosh as a member of their family of circus managers and performers, and his happyif far from averageyears with them make up the final chapter of this remarkable story.Equal parts entertaining and disturbing, Clicko vividly evokes a forgotten era when vaudeville drew massive crowds and circus freaks were featured in Billboard and Variety. Parsons introduces us to colorful characters such as George Auger the giant and the original Zip the Pinhead, but above all, he gives us an unforgettable portrait of Franz Taibosh, rescued at last from the racists and the romantics and revealed here as an ordinary man with an extraordinary life.
