The eponymous Fortuno is billed as the world's thinnest man. He's found his niche with P.T. Barnum's collection of human curiosities, and soon meets his true love there, falling for Iell Adams, the bearded woman. But Iell is not exactly what she seems, and Bryson's first novel is a deft look behind the scenes at this unusual form of show business in Gilded Age New York.
