Clowns: An Anthology

The third book in Michelle Tea's anthology series, following Sluts and Witch, turns its attention to the many-sided splendour of the clown.

A blogging dog sitter cringes out on celebrity, Slinkys and self-promotion. A poet feels the clowny vulnerability of falling in love. Drunk Muppets question the usefulness of art. A transitioning drag queen reflects on being “the crazy one, the one who doesn't give a fuck.”

Across poetry, fiction, screenplay and more, these writers explore and explode the clown as humiliating, earnest, magical and subversive. With work from Maz Murray, Sophie Robinson, Grace Byron, Andrea Lawlor, Megan Milks, Nicole J. Georges, Jake Hall, Vivek Shraya and other holy fools.
