Representaion During Books The Catch Trap

Tommy Zane hates lions, a major obstacle in a family of lion tamers. But Tommy's dreams, and talent, fly higher, up in the rigging with the trapeze. When rising star Mario Santelli offers him flying lessons, it looks like the start of wonderful new life, and to Tommy's surprise, his relationship with Mario deepens even as his skill soars in the rigging. But life in the 1940s forces them to keep their love a secret, and the stress pushes both Tommy and Mario to a precipice. And as Mario flies higher and higher, Tommy begins to wonder if it will always be his role to catch Mario as he falls.

A tremendously moving tale, a rich family saga, a wise and compassionate portrait of a special love in a cruel world.

Column Of Books The Catch Trap

There are so many reason why I shouldn't love this book, but the simple truth is I couldn't put it down.It's not an easy read. Tommy, the character whose POV is mostly used, is, at fifteen, young and naive, and so very much in love with Mario, his trapeze mentor who is about eight years older than him.Mario is a hard person to love, though. He's self-destructive and full of self-loathing, despite being an immensely talented flyer and a natural teacher. I love the time setting (forties and

Absolutely captivating. This book had me completely immersed in this fascinating world of circus performers. I've actually woken up the past two mornings realizing that I had just been dreaming about these characters; that's how completely absorbed I have become in this story. These two men and the story of their love and dedication to each other and to their art has deeply moved me. There were at least three different points in the story where I was in tears because of the emotional intensity.

TERRIBLE. Ok so I'm a gay man and knew MZB had written some gay stuff and decided to check it out. I know times were different then, but Tommy was only 14 when the two main characters initiate their relationship physically. If he had been a girl, I doubt this book would have gone very far. Overly long. Repetitive arguments between family members. NO JUICY BITS. just wasn't worth almost SEVEN HUNDRED PAGES. And after I learned what Mrs. Bradley's daughter has alleged about the author and her

I have very fond memory of this one. I must have been around 13 when I checked this out of the library, during my big Marion Zimmer Bradley period, and I remember not having a clue what this was about when I started reading this. Well, I knew it was about a circus, but apart from that.. I also remember being unable to stop reading, and I skipped church class (in preparation for my confirmation) so I could read in my room, sitting on the floor, leaning against the heater while it was raining

The Catch Trap, AKA The Book That Ate My Life.This is not a short book. Going by word count, it's about as long as The Deathly Hallows. But I devoured this book in only two days, and when I wasn't reading it, my hands itched for it. The word I would use is "ensnaring". The only time I glanced at the page numbers was out of fear for the story ending too soon, rather than tediously counting how many pages I had left to suffer through. There was never a moment that I wasn't thoroughly invested in

The Catch Trap was an incredibly moving story and I really liked it much. Below are a few of my random thoughts. For a far more insightful analysis I suggest you check out Teddy Pigs review, hes the reason I spent considerable time ringing 2nd hand book shops around the country trying to get hold of it! Which is what good reviews do, they should illustrate that the novel has touched someone in some way and give you, the reader, some impetus to whip out your much abused credit card.So, in short,

I didn't know what to expect from this book when I started reading it, I just picked it from a "best gay literature" list. The first chapters weren't that interesting and I was even considering putting it down. But it caught my interest when Tommy went to live with the Santellis and just got better and better until I was waiting my whole day for the moment I'll get to immerse myself again in the wonderful story of love between Tommy and Mario.I am always careful about reading gay literature
