Course Title: The Absurd part 2

Course Number: C2227782

Course Description: We, human beings, are programmed to look for meanings in life. However, some writers in the mid-twentieth-century began to question the idea that life had any meaning beyond the patterns we make for ourselves. On this ten week course we shall study two of these so-called absurdist texts: first, "The Outsider" by Albert Camus and, second, two plays by Harold Pinter. Who were these writers, and what were they trying to do? How relevant are they today? If you'd like to know more, come and join us.
