Enter a world in which the utterly bizarre reveals the underlying truth of the human condition in G. M. Potter's surreal short story collection, Clowns and Buffoons.
Over the course of ten tales, readers will experience the delicate interplay between light and dark, the comic and the absurd, through the adventures of a rather unexpected group of people: clowns.
Whether passive participants, rowdy agitators, or tragic victims, the clowns featured in these stories embody something much bigger than their appearance might suggest.
Learn the power of love and brotherhood as a group faces its collective fear in Gang of Six. Reminisce on love and sacrifice in End of the Gravel Road. Discover the consequences of ignoring your inner voice in Popcorn and Balloons.
Through it all-the frivolity, the jadedness, the pain, the hope-Clowns and Buffoons shines a light on who we are as people, how we function in society, and how we treat each other...and ourselves.
Look beneath the bizarre, and you will find a stunning display of the power of imagination, the devastation of losing a friend, the destructive force of egotism, the heroic protection of innocence-and perhaps a bit about yourself.
