Melancholy is a damn serious business!

Non avevo mai letto Böll e per puro caso ho iniziato a scoprirlo con Ansichten eines Clowns , only because I found in my favorite used book store in Bergmannstrasse.
Clown enter immediately and without hesitation in ia m very personal list of most popular books. I believe I have never found a more expensive and fascinating protagonist of Hans Schnier. This melancholic clown who now no longer anyone laugh, depressed, submissive alcohol and cigarettes is one of the most pure and on esti of all the literature so far read. On the other hand also in the novel off she is accused,

"Schreckliche ... das ist an Ihnen, dass Sie ein unschuldiger, fast Mochta ich sagen, sind reiner Mensch."
'... The worst thing is that she is an innocent, I would say almost a pure . "

which because of his melancholy and his difficulty in recovering from the end of romance with Marie.

Hans is pungent, ironic, sweet, sensitive, sharp, insightful, angry, curious. One child became an adult but my heart still intact. A clown.
Son of a wealthy family, saw the conversion of many respectable men who from National are then entered into the CDU. He is not religious but loves Marie, deeply Catholic woman. On Sunday the clock carefully to avoid its latest mass and if he is late to pay the taxi (with the money that does not have) so he can attend the entire ceremony. Every time I arrive in a new city where he must perform one of the first things he does is informed about where the main church and possibly look for a group of Catholics so that Marie always has a little 'Katholische Luft, air Catholic around.
But Marie leaves. And he, like a stubborn child, I do not accept and does not want other women, he has a serious fault to be monogamous.
no money, no cigarettes, no alcohol and no Marie, Hans calls to old friends or assumed in search of money and meanwhile remember, until he decides to put makeup on her face again and prepare for its new original show .

"Sie wissen zwar to, dass ein Clown melancholisch sein muss, um ein guter Clown zu sein, aber für ihn Dass die Melancholie todernste eine Sache ist, kommen sie nicht darauf. "

"Everyone knows what a clown must be sad to be a good clown, but that for him the sadness thing is a damn serious, since there do not get it. "
