	Eugene Ionesco: Man of the Theatre/Theatrical Man
		Ionesco's biographers tend to emphasize the dark side of his life, in terms not unlike the faery tales of yore.
		Ionesco's father was a politically savvy lawyer whom he regarded as downright Machiavellian in his attitudes and ability to adapt to the everchanging guard of Romanian power.

	Eugene Ionesco (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In rapid succession Ionesco wrote a number of plays, all developing the "antilogical" ideas of The Bald Soprano; these included brief and violently irrational sketches and also a series of more elaborate one-act plays in which many of his later themes--especially the fear and horror of death--begin to make their appearance.
		In contrast to these shorter works, it was only with difficulty that Ionesco mastered the techniques of the full-length play: Amédée (1954), Tueur sans gages (1959; The Killer), and Le Rhinocéros (1959; Rhinoceros) lack the dramatic unity that he finally achieved with Le Roi se meurt (1962; Exit the King).
		Ionesco's achievement lies in having popularized a wide variety of nonrepresentational and surrealistic techniques and in having made them acceptable to audiences conditioned to a naturalistic convention in the theatre.
