Heaving Bosoms - Ashley Chase

( Kathy....you read my mind with Ella Minnow Pea ! Here's another by the same quirky author: Ibid: A Life

“A life by inference is better than no life at all.”
Dunn pushes his propensity for quirky to the limit, creating a full-length novel entirely upon the margins of a fictitious biography of Jonathan Blashette, a three-legged circus performer–cum entrepreneur and humanitarian. When his editor loses the manuscript of this biography, he offers to publish the only text left: his footnotes.
Dunn holds up a funhouse mirror to the pedestaled residents of the twentieth century and has a laugh at the expense of the events and luminaries of an era that perhaps took itself just a little too seriously. )
