«Opiniones de un payaso» is the novel by Heinrich Böll, published by El País in hardback (286 pages, in Spanish).
Hans Schnier, a professional clown, loses his job and is abandoned by his partner, Marie; from that breakup, he narrates in the first person his story and that of his surroundings. The narration, with corrosive irony, serves Heinrich Böll to portray postwar Germany and the hypocrisy of its moral, political, and religious institutions.
Work originally published in 1963 as «Ansichten eines Clowns»; this 2002 edition belongs to the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection (number 6) and includes a translation by Lucas Casas.
For those interested in twentieth-century German narrative and in the novel of social and moral 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).
