This novel about a cowboy clown is wild, luxurious and absurd
There's funny haha, there's funny weird, and, it turns out, there's also 'funny yikes,' as 29-year-old clown Cherry Hendricks tells us in Kristen Arnett's latest novel, 'Stop Me If You've Heard This One.' Cherry describes her estranged relationship with her mother as follows: 'Sometimes it's funny to consider the fact that if I were a mother, I'd probably be just like her. Not funny haha, though; more like funny yikes.'
