| book description |

Nobodyâ€™s FoolÂ follows the story of Schlitzieâ€™s long careerâ€”from Coney Island and the Ringling Bros. Circus to small-town carnivals and big-city sideshowsâ€”which is one of legend. Today, Schlitzie is most well-known for his appearance in the cult classicÂ Freaks. The making ofÂ FreaksÂ and Schlitzieâ€™s role in the film is a centerpiece of the book. In researching Schlitzieâ€™s life (1901â€“1971), Griffith has tracked down primary sources and archives throughout the country, including conducting interviews with those who worked with him and had intimate knowledge of his personality, his likes and dislikes, how he responded to being a sideshow â€œfreak,â€ and much more. This graphic novel biography provides never-before-revealed details of his life, offering a unique look into his world and restoring dignity to his life by recognizing his contributions to popular culture.
