Pride of the Bimbos: A Novel - Softcover
The Pride of the Bimbos is John Sayles's outrageous, poignant and hilarious first novel, about a circus sideshow softball teamā€”The Brooklyn Bimbosā€”who play in drag at scraggly small towns across the South. The heart of the teamā€”and the novelā€”is a midget and former private eye named Pogo Burns, who is pursued by Dred, an evil super-pimp whom Pogo had earlier shot in order to rescue a woman he loved. The Pride of the Bimbos is about Pogo's rise, fall and eventual immortality, a man who refuses to admit he's a freak.
