Résumé :
Through his own experience as performer and educator, and with vivid protraits of clowns ranging from such old-time masters of buffoonery as Otto Griebling and Lou Jacobs, down to the brand-new clowns ("joeys") joining the circus today, Ballantine takes us into the hearts and minds of clowns, while showing us how dramatically the American circus has changed since its days under canvas. Star-spangled with backstage anecdotes and rich in sawdust-and-greasepaint atmosphere, Clown Alley is a salty and affectionate memoir sure to delight the circus fan in all of us. [editor summary]
