NEO-DRAMAS: Exiting the Theatre of Absurdity I At the drop of a dime existence evaporates & ignorance triumphs yet again. Since most of us will perish in a twinkling why not write a few sonnets for what could have been? We should remain faithful to Shakespeare in the face of absurdity & make sure our acts are better than our poetry. Jack: Don't you think enough poets have paid homage to Focault or Satre? Shu: (snickering) You are playing the 'complain game'. I know how that game works, and it is empty. Whenever people become locked into a rigid game-set, they lose freshness, vitality, and life. How do you believe this game will help you? Jack: Shucks! Who said I need help? Besides, what kind of game are you playing? ===================================================================================== from Lit-A-Rupture: A Post Literary Construction by T Newfields SUMMARY: Some thoughts about nihilism & affirmation KEYWORDS: literary angst, absurdist, absurdism & meaning, nihilism & affirmation, by T Newfields [Nitta Hirou / Huáng Yuèwǔ] (b. 1955) Begun: 1995 in Shizuoka, Japan ⨳ Finished: 2023 in Yokohama, Japan Creative Commons License: Attribution. {{CC-BY-4.0}} Granted < LAST https://www.tnewfields.info/LitaRupture/poe2nov.htm TOC https://www.tnewfields.info/LitaRupture/index.html NEXT > https://www.tnewfields.info/LitaRupture/neo2.htm TRANSLATIONS Chinese https://www.tnewfields.info/zh/xinxiju.htm Japanese https://www.tnewfields.info/jp/neo-dorama.htm Spanish https://www.tnewfields.info/es/neo-d1.htm
