What is The Absurd?
What is The Absurd?
The illogical, silly, ridiculous, irrational. But it might also be a serious search for meaning in the world. You might read about a character trying to make sense out of a situation, or a story about a world that appears orderly and controlled but isn't. In the following selections you'll read about a comic tale of funeral etiquette, a platoon of World War I soldiers facing the absurdity of modern warfare, a vacation resort sales pitch for Baby Boomers, a high school edition of a childhood favorite cartoon, and more.
