Circus Blood

A fellow nursing student posted this piece from last week's San Francisco Chronicle. It's actually a review of Michael Chabon's new collection of essays, Maps & Legends, but the review takes notice of the ever-great nurse novel genre, one we know well thanks to the previously mentioned Tiny Pineapple. Long-time columnist Jon Carroll who wrote the article also happens to be father of the wonderfully talented Shana Carroll of Les 7 Doigts de la Main, a fabulous and wildly successful, self-made circus troupe. Here is a Hearing Voices interview where Jon talks to Shana about her decision to become an aerialist. It is a part of a larger, 54 minute radio documentary called Circus Blood.
