Miller uses an elegant, melifluous style to tell a simple little story about a clown. This is the epitomy of a little gem.

My edition was illustrated with Miller's own paintings, a choice I found questionable after reading the epilogue. Miller's inspiration came from specific works by Miro, Chagall

and others, while his own clown paintings have a more tenuous relationship with the tale. Still, I love his Clown with two mouths (one smiling, one frowning).

Another examination of the human psyche by the master of examination. Here Henry Miller shares with us his ardent gaze upon joy and sorrow, apprehension and courage, failure in success, and success in failure. Lovely.
