From the author's Introduction: "The theater of the absurd is antirealistic, antipsychological, antiphilosophical and apolitical." From the Dust Jacket: "Gaensbauer examines this particular theater's modus operandi -- its antecedents in art and poetry as well as drama -- and the works of its best-known practitioners. In part 1, Gaensbauer firmly lays the foundation. by describing the events -- such as dadaism and surrealism -- and the persons -- primarily poet and theatrical visionary Antonin Artaud -- who helped spawn it. Part 2 discusses the principal absurdist works of Beckett, Ionesco, Adamov, and Genet, as well as those of the later playwright Fernando Arrabal."
