Humorectomy: Engineering Comic Clown Violence. Will Elliott in conversation with Anna-Sophie Jürgens (2019) (original) (raw)

Comedy Studies, 2019

Abstract

Will Elliott’s novels strongly inspired many of the discussions in this special themed journal issue. It is thus particularly intriguing that in ‘Humorectomy – Engineering Comic Clown Violence’, throughout his conversation with Anna-Sophie Jürgens, the Australian author shares his ideas about the comic and non-comic dimensions of (his) clown protagonists, his inspirations, and personal perspective on comic violence (‘cartoonish slapstick’) and its (apparent) appeal to the reader.
