The Cambridge Introduction to Theatre and Literature of the Absurd (Cambridge Introductions to Literature) Paperback – 29 Oct. 2015

I bought it as a present the person who receives it can, perhaps, tell you!

Great book on the existential and absurd dimensions of life and how they have impacted the typically tightly structured and genre specific components of literature. This is good, as whether we know it or not, we structure our lives around our own autobiographical narratives. Seeing the nonsensical in literature can provide a sense of both solidarity and potential perspective.
