Phew! This one really hits you right in the face, and I mean that in the best way possible. The main character wakes up one day to find his hands bleeding and no matter what he does he can't make the wounds heal. The blood causes him to get into a fist-fight with the owner of the bar he works at, leaving the poor dude to wander homeless for a time. He stumbles across a travelling circus and joins up, first as a handyman and then as one of the attractions. His past catches up to him, though, in the form of his former boss. Although the main character is a bit of jerk through a lot of the book, it's hard not too feel sympathetic for him with everything he has to endure. Although the themes of redemption and struggling to come to terms with who and what you really are tie in quite heavily into Christianity I really appreciate how much Mattotti toned down the religious aspects of the story. That choice very smartly opens this book up to a lot of readers who might not otherwise pick this up. The artwork is what really makes it---crazy, heavy lines swirl around these pages, carrying you through each trial the "hero" has to face. You really feel like this is a story of someone under great torment, and those feelings are largely communicated by the art. Absolutely fantastic and probably the most emotive book I've read so far this year. A great addition to any adult collection.

"The Cuckoo Man was Jack Nicholson, the movie star, a devoted follower of Laker basketball who had a seat right next to the Laker bench. In the championship season, when Portland had played Los Angeles, Nicholas had thus sat only about three feet away from the last man on the Portland bench who, in this case, happened to be Lloyd Neal, and everything that Nicholson said, every cry praising Kareem or belittling Walton, thundered in the ears of the Portland players. It was as if he had been chosen by the gods to bedevil them. At the halftime the Portland players had filed into the dressing room and one of the other players, impressed that so famous and yet now so manic a presence was seated so close to them, asked Ice if he knew who his neighbor was. No, he said, who? "Jack Nicholson, Ice," someone had answered. "You mean the little fellow, not much hair?" Neal asked. "Yes." "Who's he?" "A movie star. Did a picture One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." "Oh yeah," said Ice, "I know who he is, that guy." The others were not so sure whether Neal had seen the movie or not, they could never tell about Ice, whether he was smarter than they thought but playing dumb, or dumber than they thought but playing smart. In the second half Nicholson had kept up his cheering, loud, partisan, a noise which fell relentlessly upon the Portland bench. Then, late in the game, at a crucial moment, the game hanging in the balance, the Lakers had made a run and Kareem had gone out for a shot and as he did, Walton had gone up too and he had blocked it, and even as Walton reached the apex of his jump, his hand outstretched, the entire Portland bench had been aware of an even more dramatic moment: Lloyd Neal rising up out of his seat, huge now, intimidating, a great dark-visaged figure pointing a massive and threatening finger in a massive threatening hand at the suddenly tiny Nicholson. The others had watch this tableau, it seemed frozen in time for them, as if to symbolize the team's new invincibility, that they would not be beaten, not by Kareem, not by Los Angeles, not even by rich and celebrated actors, for there was Ice screaming at Nicholson, "Take that, mother-fucking cuckoo!" The moment had become part of the unofficial team history, a symbol of its triumph, and Nicholson, star of Chinatown, Five Easy Pieces and other great American films, had become simply The Cuckoo Man.
