Eric Larson’s “The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair that Changed America” is fascinating and fun reading. There is a movie in the works and it will suck. It is the history and Larson’s contextualizing of events that make this a fascinating story – not the plot. The movie will just be a CSI episode, but olde timey.
Anyway, who knew that stories about the first Ferris Wheel would be so damned entertaining?
