A gawky youth with round glasses and practical mountain bike gear, Whizzkid arrives on Segonax with a suitcase full of circus paraphernalia and a head packed with romanticized notions about the Psychic Circus’s glories. His naive hero-worship for Captain Cook—bordering on obsession—blinds him to the circus’s deadliness, and he treats its famous founder with the reverence one reserves for childhood idols. His encyclopedic knowledge of circus trivia and vintage propaganda posters cannot compensate for his refusal to see the blood beneath the sequins, and his eagerness to perform borders on self-destruction.
