About this product
Product Information
By turns graceful and knowing, funny and moving, Niagara Falls All Over Again is the latest masterwork by National Book Award finalist and author of The Giant's House , Elizabeth McCracken. Spanning the waning years of vaudeville and the golden age of Hollywood, Niagara Falls All Over Again chronicles a flawed, passionate friendship over thirty years, weaving a powerful story of family and love, grief and loss. In it, McCracken introduces 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. To the paying public, Mose Sharp was the arch, colorless half of the comedy team Carter and Sharp. To his partner, he was charmed and charming, a confirmed bachelor who never failed at love and romance. To his father and sisters, Mose was a prodigal son. And in his own heart and soul, he would always be a boy who once had a chance to save a girl's life--a girl who would be his first, and greatest, loss. Born into a Jewish family in small-town Iowa, the only boy among six sisters, Mose Sharp couldn't leave home soon enough. By sixteen Mose had already joined the vaudeville circuit. But he knew one thing from the start: "I needed a partner," he recalls. "I had always needed a partner." Then, an ebullient, self-destructive comedian named Rocky Carter came crashing into his life--and a thirty-year partnership was born. But as the comedy team of Carter and Sharp thrived from the vaudeville backwaters to Broadway to Hollywood, a funny thing happened amid the laughter: It was Mose who had all the best lines offstage. Rocky would go through money, women, and wives in his restless search for love; Mose would settle down to a family life marked by fragile joy and wrenching tragedy. And soon, cracks were appearing in their complex relationship ... until one unforgivable act leads to another and a partnership begins to unravel. In a novel as daring as it is compassionate, Elizabeth McCracken introduces an indelibly drawn cast of characters--from Mose's Iowa family to the vagabond friends, lovers, and competitors who share his dizzying journey--as she deftly explores the fragile structures that underlie love affairs and friendships, partnerships and families. An elegiac and uniquely American novel, Niagara Falls All Over Again is storytelling at its finest--and powerful proof that Elizabeth McCracken is one of the most dynamic and wholly original voices of her generation.

Reviews
"Any doubts that McCracken could not equal the inventiveness, wit and quirky imagination of her first novel, The Giant's House , will be dispelled by this relentlessly eventful, rollickingly funny and heartwarming narrative. In its delicate balance of black humor, irony and pathos, this novel is as exhilarating as the waters of Niagara, its flow mimicking the tumultuous rush of time."- Publishers Weekly, "Any doubts that McCracken could not equal the inventiveness, wit and quirky imagination of her first novel, The Giant's House , will be dispelled by this relentlessly eventful, rollickingly funny and heartwarming narrative. In its delicate balance of black humor, irony and pathos, this novel is as exhilarating as the waters of Niagara, its flow mimicking the tumultuous rush of time."-- Publishers Weekly, "Any doubts that McCracken could not equal the inventiveness, wit and quirky imagination of her first novel,The Giant's House, will be dispelled by this relentlessly eventful, rollickingly funny and heartwarming narrative. In its delicate balance of black humor, irony and pathos, this novel is as exhilarating as the waters of Niagara, its flow mimicking the tumultuous rush of time." -Publishers Weekly Praise for Elizabeth McCracken andThe Giant's House: "Such is the incantatory power of McCracken's eccentric tale that by its close we are completely in the grip of its strangely conceived ardor.... McCracken is as original a writer as they come.... I fell in love." - Daphne Merkin,The New Yorker "Satisfying ... often exquisite ... McCracken unpacks her metaphors with the intensity of a poet." -The New York Times Book Review "Thoroughly enjoyable from its unlikely beginning to its bittersweet end ... McCracken knows all kinds of subtle, enticing secrets of the heart and conveys them in silky, transparent language." -San Francisco Chronicle "McCracken is a true romantic, not the sloppy, gushy kind who lie to themselves, but the robust, ferocious romantic who sees reality with all its chinks, twitches, and zits, and finds it beautiful." - Katherine Dunn, author ofGeek Love "McCracken mixes the proper amount of lunacy with exactly the right amount of sorrow. The blend is reminiscent of such late-20th-century treasures asThe Accidental Tourist,The World According to Garp, orA Confederacy of Dunces." -The Denver Post "Remarkable. McCracken has wit and subtlety to burn, as well as an uncanny ability to tap in to the sadness that runs through the center of her characters' worlds. This book is so lovely that, when you're reading, you'll want to sleep with it under your pillow." -Salon "Highly recommended ... eloquent and hauntingly beautiful ... This is a terrific novel, and McCracken is definitely a writer to watch." -Library Journal, "Any doubts that McCracken could not equal the inventiveness, wit and quirky imagination of her first novel,The Giant's House, will be dispelled by this relentlessly eventful, rollickingly funny and heartwarming narrative. In its delicate balance of black humor, irony and pathos, this novel is as exhilarating as the waters of Niagara, its flow mimicking the tumultuous rush of time."-Publishers Weekly

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
