Hans Schnier, a down-and-out clown, narrates in the first person his life after losing his job and his partner.

A story about identity, faith, and personal alienation.

Suitable for readers of postwar European literary fiction and novels with a first-person narrator full of irony and social criticism; the story connects with those seeking a classic of German literature.
