Amédée by 9577748|Eugène Ionesco book cover

📘 Amédée
 by Eugène Ionesco

AMEDEE creates a comic uproar out of a steadily-growing corpse just outside the bedroom of a middle-class couple. In THE NEW TENANT, a man moves furniture into his new apartment. Slowly the articles accumulate until there is no room left. In VICTIMS OF DUTY, the playwright has tried to drown the comic in the tragic, to oppose them in order to reunite them in a new synthesis.
