Clown parable Miller uses an elegant, melifluous style to tell a simple little story about a clown. This is the epitomy of a little gem. My edition was illustrated with Miller's own paintings, a choice I found questionable after reading the epilogue. Miller's inspiration came from specific works by Miro, Chagall and others, while his own clown paintings have a more tenuous relationship with the tale. Still, I love his Clown with two mouths (one smiling, one frowning). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
First published in 1959, this touching fable tells of Auguste, a famous clown who could make people laugh but who sought to impart to his audiences a lasting joy. Originally inspired by a series of circus and clown drawings by the cubist painter Femand Léger, Miller eventually used his own decorations to accompany the text in their stead. "Undoubtedly," he says in his explanatory epilogue, °'it is the strangest story I have yet written. . . . No, more even than all the stories which I based on fact and experience is this one the truth. My whole aim in writing has been to tell the truth, as I know it. Heretofore all my characters have been real, taken from life, my own life. Auguste is unique in that he came from the blue. But what is this blue which surrounds and envelopes us if not reality itself? . . . We have only to open our eyes and hearts, to become one with that which is."
