David Zimmer loses his wife
and sons in a plane crash and
his life begins to spin out
of control. Then one night
he watches a silent screen
comedian and, for the first time
in months, he laughs. His life
becomes his search for information
about the work of this comedian,
an obscure and mysterious man,
Hector Mann.

The Book of Illusions spins and
whirls, spiraling at times into
its own shadows. Recommended.
