SUMMARY:One of Us: Part 1
LOCATION:Jarvis Red Line Stop
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 28% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nJoin us for the first half of One of Us\, a macabre and g
 ritty tale about orphaned twins on the run from their murderous "uncle" wh
 o find refuge in a bizarre traveling carnival\, penned by master of litera
 ry horror Dan Chaon.\n\nIt's 1915 and the world is transforming\, but for 
 thirteen-year-old Bolt and Eleanor--twins eerily attuned enough to one ano
 ther read each other's minds--the future is dark. After their mother dies\
 , they are taken into the care of a vicious con man who claims to be their
  long-lost uncle Charlie\, after he unexpectedly turns up claiming to be k
 in. During a late-night poker game\, when one of his rages ends in murder\
 , they decide to flee.\n\nThey are sold into the keeping of Mr. Jengling\,
  founder of the Emporium of Wonders and father to its members. Bolt and El
 eanor travel by train across the vast\, sometimes brutal American frontier
  with their new family\, watching as the exhibitions spark amazement where
 ver they go. There's Minnie\, the three-legged lady\, and Dr. Chui\, who s
 tands over seven feet tall\; Thistle Britches\, the clown with no nose\, a
 nd Rosalie\, who can foretell the death of anyone she meets.\n\nBut as Bol
 t falls in deeper with the clan of traveling show people\, Eleanor pulls f
 urther away from him. Meanwhile\, Uncle Charlie remains hot on their trail
 \, forcing the twins find themselves to face a strange and terriflying per
 il which will forever alter the course of their lives.\n\nAn ode to the mi
 sfits and the marginalized\, One of Us is a riotous and singularly creepy 
 celebration of this strange and spectacular family of final resort.\n\nLoc
 ation at Jess White's home in Rogers Park near the Jarvis Red Line stop.\n
