The little prince. (No idea, utterly clueless.)

"Man turns in to a bug, dies."

(clue: one word, five syllables.)

"Man turns in to a bug, dies."

Kafka, Die Verwandlung.
The metamorphosis!?

Man in mask runs off with young girl.

(clue: French author, also a musical.)

Mm...

What about this one:

A rogue man in the veldt.
One of my all time favourite authors.

Oh my brain is not even remotely working as it should... The only thing my mind keeps shouting at me is 'Catcher in the Rye' ... But I'm probably not even close.

(would like to point out I've never read CITR but this is quite literally all my brain is letting me see when I read that sentence.)

Yaaaaaay! ^_^ correct.

(oh god I'm rubbish at this... And I knew I was wrong about CITR. Now my brain can shut up about it.)

No, not Catcher in the Rye.
It's the title and it is german. Just one word with two symbols.

I will have to bow out of this one (having a terrible case of 'the dumb' on my part here.)

anyone else have a clue?

The name of a Hardrock-Band, anyone?

Hermann Hesse?

**Posted by Be** June 21, 2013 1:21 pm

Yes.

I like the character of Harry Haller. His dark side and the symbolism in it. Reminds me of "Sherlock" a bit. A circus is in there, too. Harry finds his way through laughter and humor.
