In the 1950s and 1960s, the peak of
such artistic movements as the Theater of the Absurd and Surrealism gave
rise to an entire genre of literature based on non sequitur behaviors
and otherworldly plots. One of the works from this time, “Waiting for
Godot”, is based entirely around a pair of characters waiting at a tree for their friend, Godot — whom we never meet — to arrive. Absurdism can be difficult to define
since it is by its very nature anti-establishment and anti-order.
Embracing absurdity simply requires us to move directly past all the
tacit rules that we tend to accommodate each day, from the way we dress
to the way we speak, to how we sit in a public place.
