Absurdist

Absurdist literature is a genre that explores the irrationality and meaninglessness of human existence. It often features characters who are trapped in absurd situations and struggle to find purpose or understanding in a chaotic world. Absurdist books challenge traditional notions of plot, character development, and narrative structure, and often use humor and satire to critique societal norms and conventions. This genre is characterized by its philosophical and existential themes, and its rejection of traditional literary conventions.

  1. 1. Rhinoceros and Other Plays by Eugène Ionesco

    "Rhinoceros and Other Plays" is a collection of three absurdist dramas that explore themes of conformity, culture, and mass movements. The titular play depicts a small French town where the inhabitants inexplicably transform into rhinoceroses, symbolizing the rise of fascism and the dangers of conformity. The other two plays, "The Leader" and "The Future is in Eggs," continue to explore these themes through a satirical and often surreal lens, challenging societal norms and the nature of reality itself.
