Opening Sentence of the Day: Clown Girl



"Balloon Tying for Christ was the cheapest balloon manual I could find."

--  Clown Girl by Monica Drake (Independent Publishers Book Award winner; introduction by Chuck Palahniuk)

Hawthorne Books & Literary Arts sent this one to me.  I don't know if I would have picked it myself, and it has more of an an edge to it than I am really comfortable with, but it is incredibly clever and pretty funny.

Hawthorne is a Portland-based, independent publisher specializing in literary fiction and narrative non-fiction.
