Book Description
"Every life is a whole universe. But no life means anything unless it reflects the universal life, unless it is at the same time itself and something else, it means nothing if it is separate, it means nothing too, if it is lived gregariously, if it is lost in the nothingness of impersonality."--Eugne Ionesco, Fragments of a Journal In the Clown in the Agora, William Kluback and Michael Finkenthal have put together a book of imagined conversations, encounters, and interviews based on the poetical and philosophical ideas of playwright Eugne Ionesco.

FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
Through the eclectic lens of writer Kluback and Finkelthal (physics, Hebrew U., Jerusalem), Ionesco is encountered as a Romanian-born French playwright (e.g. ) who struggled with existential quandaries: "I accept my state of marionette...the metaphysical ridiculousness of my human condition." No bibliography, index, or photos are included, as perhaps befits imaginary conversations, but frustrating nonetheless. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
