Description

016 The Crucified Clown by Hanns Heinz Ewers. The Pierrot or clown is highly symbolic and we hear of the tears of a clown. . . This is the story of a clown that goes up high on the cliffs of Capri for his last communion with the sun. It's the only story that I know of by Hanns Heinz Ewers that speaks of suicide.
