Description

This book explores the power of laughter as a means of liberation from societal constraints. Drawing on Nuar Alsadir's experiences as a poet and psychoanalyst, it examines how laughter can reveal our true selves. The narrative combines personal anecdotes with theoretical insights, covering topics such as clown school, addiction, cultural critiques, and significant political events. Central to the text is Alsadir's relationship with her daughters, who bring unexpected joy and spontaneity to her reflections on life, art, and the human experience.
