Tea, Michelle - CLOWNS

The 3rd anthology from DOPAMINE Books that considers the many-sided splendor of the clown. A MOTLEY RANGE OF VOICES: from authors to artists to working comedians. An anthology that is both comedic and serious, it explores and explodes the archetype it sets out to consider. Always absurd, the Clown becomes a stand-in for the deep fringe of coming-of-age, the psychedelia of early drug experiences, the drama of death itself. SAD CLOWNS AND MURDEROUS CLOWNS, LOVELORN CLOWNS: posits the creepy / thrilling notion that we are all of us—in our makeup and our drag, our desperate for expression and affection—CLOWNS, full of heart and vulnerability, regrets and revenge.
