Born into a family of trapeze artists, Olympia Knife leads an idyllic life as a travelling circus performer until her fellow troupers vanish before her eyes. First are Olympias parents, the Flying Knifes, who disappear mid-air during their act. Second is Arnold, the The Worlds Smallest Major General (he was neither) Tiny Napoleon Only Three Feet Tall, followed by Magnus, the lobster-clawed circus director--one by one, they are all, simply, gone. into the fray walks Diamond the Danger Eater, daring and determined, and together, she and Olympia face their crumbling world, having only each other to cling to in the struggle for existence.in the tradition of magical realism, Olympia Knife is a tale of survival and resistance for LGBTQ folks and all others who live unseen, untethered, or outside the margins.
