Born and raised into the Sacred Order of Tragicomedy, Chester Brown's path is written in stone.

The bulbous nose and gigantic feet define him physically, while The Sacred Church of Razzmatazz ensnares him in its grip.

For Chester there can be no escape...or so he believes.

But Chester Brown has a secret passion-he longs to become a writer.

When a chance encounter leads him on an existential pilgrimage across Europe, a new world begins to surface.

Will Chester manage to erase the marks of the clown, or will the bonds of his past prove unbreakable?

Death of a Clown is a metaphorical tale of dark fantasy, a story of hope, courage and self acceptance.
