Stranger than fiction

Via Galley Slaves, let me direct you to a recent Post story, "The Peekaboo Paradox," about a D.C. children's entertainer who calls himself The Great Zucchini. Not only is it a completely bizarre, top-level entry into the category of you-can't-make-this-stuff-up, it's also one of the most fascinating, affecting, superbly written pieces of long-form journalism I've read in a very long time.
