Jeanne W. (JeanneW) reviewed on 6/29/2010 + 13 more book reviews

I am completely baffled by the categorization of this book. It is categorized under Photography, but there is no mention of photography in it. It is also listed as a book for teens. Although some teens might enjoy reading it, the books is certainly not a teen book. It is an in depth look at the psychology and sociology of clowns.

3. Fools and the World of Matter
4. Laughter in the Face of Chaos and Tragedy
5. Duality: From the Harmony of Opposites comes Creation.

For anyone interested in the sociology and psychology of clowns, or the fool, this is a very good reference.
