Highly recommended by Chuck Palahniuk (the author of Fight Club) Clown Girl is a darkly humorous tale that follows Sniffles the Clown through bizarre escapades.
Set in Baloneytown which is a crazy strange metropolis filled with stoned dogs, clown prostitution and an abundance of other depressing characters.
Sniffles whose real name is Nita must attempt to keep her head above water financially and has to start doing things she would never do.
Clown Girl is entertaining absurdity immersed in black comedy but contains themes of modern feminism.
As previously mentioned Chuck Palahniuk who is a contemporary great transgressive author hails this novel as stated on his website and if Monica Drake’s next novels are as great as her dark debut Clown Girl she will be considered in the same class.
Clown Girl is most likely the best book you have never heard of.
