Niagara Falls All Over Again by Elizabeth McCracken
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
A nicely written novel about one half of a Laurel and Hardy-esque comedy team. The book begins in the waining days of Vaudville and continues through the 40s and 50s as our comedy team becomes famous. Mose Sharp is the straight man and it is interesting to watch the contrast between his life on screen as well as off screen when compared to his comic sidekick.
According to family myth/legend, we have Vaudeville actors in our family ancestry. As a former amateur actor…I lay claim to that. Wonder if I would enjoy this book based on that fact?! -S
