Anti-Theater

Man, I have been hassling with my wireless connection all day. I wanted to write about Eugene Ionesco and the influence of The Theater of the Absurd on my work. But now I am tired and cranky and ready to surrender. But before I go, here is a link to a 1982 Paris Review interview with the playwright. If you're unfamiliar with Ionesco (there may be a few of you out there) start with his first play, The Bald Soprano.

I promise you, you will laugh your head off at the Smiths and the Martins.
