As a staff photographer at India Today, Saibal Das spent considerable time covering the United Liberation Front of Asom insurgency and the ethnic fight between the Nagas and the Kukis. He also documented many important sociopolitical events in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan. Nola Rae is an internationally renowned mime artist.
While the images are striking and evocative, what makes this book truly haunting and unforgettable is the sparse text provided by world-renowned mime Nola Rae. Rae alternates between careful description of the images from an insider's perspective and succinct prose to elucidate the circus world. This book is a fantastic example of how images and words can work together to create something entirely more powerful, even if the subject is normally beyond outside understanding. --Photographer's Forum
