Summary

Drama. Theater. Translated from the Norwegian by Solrum Hoaas and Esther Greenleaf Murer. The Norwegain iconoclast Jens Bjorneboe described this work as "a wild, almost surrealistic play--partly sinister, partly comic...directed against those forms of society that do not allow room for people who think differently from those in power." In the horrible world of AMPUTATION the dissident individual who cannot be normalized by conditioned reflexes may yet serve society--in the medical sense. Bjorneboe wrote two versions of the play, and both are included here, along with supplemental texts.
