P: "Hysterical realism" then and then again

[Mark Kohut]

Playwright Strindberg, an early modernist, almost all would say, said this in 1888 (of his characters in Miss
Julie): "Since they are modern characters, living in an age of transition more urgently hysterical at any rate than
the age that preceded it, I have drawn them as split and vacillating....conglomerations of past and present....
scraps from books and newspapers"......

Any relevance for one of our favorite hysterical realists, I'm asking ya, Mr. Wood?
