520 ?The Semiconducting Dictionary: Our Strindberg is a
playful original re-visioning of the life of notorious
misogynist and modern drama master August Strindberg,
mixing prose and poetry of various forms from different
historical periods including straightforward lyric, found
poetry, haibun, list poems, magic spells, and alchemical
recipes to construct a portrait and to tell a story.
August Strindberg is a hotly debated figure, a master of
the Modern theatre and a contemporary of Ibsen; the
influence of Strindbergâs work continues to this day.
However, in contemporary times his often outrageous
misanthropy and misogyny (he claimed that women were
demons) have been variously apologized for as poetic
licence, self-portrait, critical posture, or simply
mistaken (how could he be a misogynist when there were so
many women in his life?). Caple contributes to the
apologist literature surrounding him by pretending that he
was actually a woman playwright living as a man and his
supposed hatred either part of the disguise or else self-
loathing. By embracing Strindberg, Caple is able to
highlight the excessive beauty of human complications and
to represent a world at the end of the enlightenment, as
the magic of the church gave way to the magic of the
sciences
