What happens when three ordinary people undergo radical medical treatments that
make them international curiosities? They become wonders.
Leon has a small visible mechanical heart; Kathryn has been cured of a rare
genetic disorder but is now covered in curly black wool; while performance
artist Christos has metal wings implanted into his back. Brought together by a
canny entrepreneur, 'The Wonders' are transformed into a glamorous,
genre-defying, twenty-first century freak show. But what makes them objects of
fascination also places them in danger.
Challenging our ideas about celebrity, disability and the value of human life,
The Wonders is a boldly inventive, acute and moving novel from one of
Australia's finest authors.
