From the backcover:
A circus, promising to display the stuffed body of the largest whale in the whole world, arrives in the dead of winter, prompting bizarre rumors. Word spreads that the circus folk have a sinister purpose in mind, and the frightened citizens cling to any manifestation of order they can find—music, cosmology, fascism.
