«Clownen Jac» is the last novel by Swedish writer Hjalmar Bergman, published by Norstedts Pocket in paperback (290 pages, in Swedish).
The clown Jac is forced to perform against his will and is so skilful at portraying fear that the audience applauds deafeningly without knowing his terror is real. Bergman turns this story into his literary farewell and tints it with melancholy, with a dark satire of the Hollywood of the era.
Originally published in 1930, less than a year before Bergman's death; this Swedish edition appeared in 1999.
For readers of Swedish classics and psychological fiction, with an interest in the world of entertainment and the contradictions of the artist.
