The Absurd in Literature

Meer over het boek

Focusing on significant historical moments and artistic movements, this study offers a selective exploration of absurdist literature rather than a comprehensive history. It highlights influential literary figures and works, ultimately delving into the contributions of four key writers: Daniil Kharms, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, and Flann O'Brien. Through this lens, the book examines the evolution and impact of absurdism in literature.
