An International Circus Affair: How a Nanjing Acrobat in San Francisco Changed American Circus Forever by Jeff Raz with Stephanie Greenspan, Ori Quesada, and Devin Holt 

About the book: The second most powerful person in the Chinese circus world moved to San Francisco in 1990. Lu Yi then started teaching the 2000-year-old art of Chinese acrobatics to the jugglers, clowns and aerialists of the15-year old Pickle Family Circus.

An International Circus Affair looks at the 20 years after Lu Yi’s arrival and how his acrobatic training and his students’ prowess changed circuses around the world, including Cirque du Soleil and The 7 Fingers.

Review: "The insights in An International Circus Affair... will attract not just circus professionals and participants, but viewers from outside performance circles....including business readers, cross-cultural analysts, and historians as well as general-interest readers."
