	Biographie: Peter Weiss, 1916-1982
		Weiss schreibt das Hörspiel "Rotundan" (dt.: Der Turm), das 1950 in Schweden uraufgeführt und 1967 erstmals deutschsprachig aufgeführt wird.
		Weiss, der Mitglied der schwedischen Kommunistischen Partei ist, erklärt auf einem Schriftsteller-Kongress in Weimar: "Zwischen den beiden Wahlmöglichkeiten, die mir heute bleiben, sehe ich nur in der sozialistischen Gesellschaftsordnung die Möglichkeit zur Beseitigung der bestehenden Missverhältnisse in der Welt".
		Weiss entwirft dabei ein Gesamtbild der euopäischen Linken in diesem Zeitraum.

	Peter Weiss at the Complete Review
		Weiss chose his métier as carefully as he chose the language he would work in, studying painting (and becoming an accomplished painter) and also experimenting with film.
		Weiss was always a political writer, and many of the later plays were apparently too obviously so to be of continued interest, sinking -- at least in the English-speaking world -- without a sound from sight.
		Weiss' varied writings are almost invariably interesting, ranging from surreal literary experiments to realistic autobiographical accounts to literary reworkings of political issues (whether dealing with the so-called Third World or German history).

	Fallen Between Two Stools
		Peter Weiss surged into the American consciousness in 1964 with Peter Brook's production of The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of Monsieur de Sade (Marat/Sade).
		Weiss was a renaissance man: in addition to his plays he illustrated a volume of poetry for Hermann Hesse and penned autobiographical novels.
		Weiss in his program notes likened the libertine Marquis to "the modern advocate of the third approach, [who] fell between two stools." Weiss found himself in the same position.
