"American OZ Pulls Back the Curtain on Carnival Life to Show Us Ourselves," WindyCity/BookTrib Review American Oz is a rollicking, gritty, adventurous story of life in the secretive subculture of traveling carnivals. You'll never see your state fair or street festival the same way again. Comerford writes a bold, inspiring true story of a year working behind the scenes with the colorful characters and legends of carnivals. He shares stories of freaks, a carnival pimp, a tramp gold miner, and the last King of the Sideshows. An insult dunk tank clown is shot. Masked gunmen rob his carnival. And a young showman friend dies on the road. It's a new classic American road story as he hitchhikes to shows in California, New Jersey, New York, Chicago, Alaska, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, and Florida where he works in a freak show. He becomes the #1 hitchhiker in the USA and a top agent at the State Fair of Texas. He travels to the lawless foothills of Mexico to see the new face of the American carny. He exposes the truths about immigration, labor abuse, and living between two worlds. American OZ is being called "lyrical journalism" and "full of deep observations about life." Enjoy the ride yet the deeper you read the more you'll see. Comerford finds people practicing the art of making other people happy while seeking love and meaning in their own lives on a long, endless road.

Special Edition American OZ: An Astonishing Year Inside Traveling Carnivals at State Fairs & Festivals: Hitchhiking From California to New York, Alaska to Mexico with FREE EASY Reading!

Only by traveling with and working at numerous carnivals throughout the United States is this level of slice-of-life journalism ever achieved. Much like Studs Terkel, a literary hero of American OZ author Michael Sean Comerford, this book shows the gritty, true-to-life arduous working conditions and hustle to free marks from their money. However, Comerford's passion for telling stories and interviewing the people he meets allow readers to share the fanciful dreams and aspirations of people who shed traditional employment to live unencumbered, at least for a brief period each year, on the road. This book will make you laugh, cry and remember the fantasy of carnivals everywhere. Enjoy!
