After half a century of waiting, I get the honor of meeting, Eugene Ionesco in person on YoutTube today. I am very grateful to have seen this video, thank you. Professor Ashley is in the house. As an undergrad the professor required his students to read and enjoy Ionesco. I can see him now, half a century ago, pulling out his pipe with sweet smelling tobacco, and the cloud of smoke that emerged when it was lit. Thank you, Professor Ashley. You made my life richer and seeing Ionesco now, I am thrilled and sense myself a student again, only older, but still filled with awe. The Humanites live and I am grateful for that as well.
'Je suis tres, tres sympathetique' towards the nihilistic absurdist's like Ionesco, Camus and even Satre (although the term 'existentialist' is applied, Camus's 'the myth of sisyphus' and Satres 'Huis Clois' are fundamentally absurdist works also). Been rediscovering Pinter lately as well, somewhat...life is fundamentally absurd and existence is ultimately a drain. If you think about it for even a second it either makes you angry or obsessive. That's probably why most people just don't...
Wow, j'adore ça façon de s'exprimer, avec un français si beau... malheureusement de plus en plus rare de nos jours... What a great French language he have
There's not that many approximations in the translation. I fully understand why the subtitles say that Mayenne is in Paris.The way Ionesco describes where he went to school would leave you believe that Mayenne was indeed in Paris.

I am very happy to see that a writer born in a small city,not any city but my home city,is well-known and liked all over the world!
He is my Great-Great Uncle :D
For real?
@@sussexcountyavantgarde6252 Yes! :)
My friend it is a pleasure to know you you're great uncle the better play right then Shakespeare

La leçon and La chantatrice chauve are two of my favourite plays. He was a great writer.
I found out about Eugene through the Enliven app which used his quote: "It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question."
Este hombre era realmente brillante.

Voilà un homme sensé et qui s'est interrogé sur sa précence ici..
Does anyone know the interviewer's name? I'd like to cite this in a paper.
.Exelente ; gracias ,desde argentina.

Perhaps Benzema, Trezeguet and Henry are truly French.
