Hans Schnier, a clown, recalls his relationship with the woman he loves, who abandons him to enter a Catholic and bourgeois marriage. His reflections paint a portrait of postwar German society and a critique of double standards, clericalism and social conventions, with loneliness, love and the search for authenticity as guiding threads.
The novel was originally published in 1963.
For readers interested in postwar German literature and novels of social criticism.
Heinrich Theodor Böll was a German writer. Considered one of Germany's foremost post–World War II writers, Böll received the Georg Büchner Prize (1967) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1972).
