Beschreibung:
Sue Prideaux is a writer living in Sussex, UK. Her book Edvard Munch: Behind the Scream won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in biography.
A fascinating exploration of the life of August Strindberg who is principally known as 'the mad inventor of modern theatre' but was also a novelist, satirist, poet, photographer, painter, alchemist, and hellraiser. Prideaux organises Strindberg's story into a gripping and highly readable narrative that both illuminates his work and restores humour and humanity to this complex figure.
