Specifikacia Plays from Alienation and Freedom
Prior to becoming a psychiatrist, Frantz Fanon wanted to be a playwright and his interest in dialogue, narrative and metaphor continued throughout his writing and career. His interest in theatre developed during the years that he was studying medicine, and in 1949 he wrote the plays The Drowning Eye (L'Oeil se noie), and Parallel Hands (Les Mains parall les). These texts were rumoured to exist, but were thought to have been lost forever until their discovery and release in French in 2016. This first English translation of the texts offers an extraordinary insight into Fanon's thinking and preoccupations as a young man.Inspired by nineteenth and twentieth- century existentialist philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, S ren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, Fanon's plays explore experiential preoccupations with consciousness and identity.
