Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bozo the Clown with the release of The Man Behind the Nose, the new biography of America’s most iconic and beloved clown, from Igniter Literary Group/HarperCollins Publishers August 17, 2010

In The Man Behind the Nose: Assassins, Astronauts, Cannibals, and Other Stupendous Tales (Releasing August 17, Igniter Books/Harper Collins), the moving biography from the late Larry "Bozo" Harmon, Larry and co-author Thomas Scott McKenzie recall some pretty crazy tales about America’s most iconic and beloved clown:

· Did you hear the one about when Bozo ran for President and survived two assassination attempts?

· How about the time Bozo flew into the perilous jungles of New Guinea to see if he could not just survive but actually bond with dangerous cannibal tribes?

· Well then, you must know about the time his size 83 AAA shoes saved him from being swallowed whole by a giant, murderous python in Thailand, right?

· Did you know there was a 10-year waitlist for tickets for the Bozo television show?

Special guests: Mrs. Larry Harmon, wife of the late Larry Harmon, and co-author Thomas Scott McKenzie.

We will feature Bozo memorabilia and maybe even play The Grand Prize Game!
