Johan August Strindberg painted. He alongside Henrik Ibsen, S酶ren Kierkegaard, Selma Lagerl枚f, Hans Christian Andersen, and Snorri Sturluson arguably most influenced of all famous Scandinavian authors. People know this father of modern theatre. His work falls into major literary movements of naturalism and expressionism. People widely read him internationally to this day.
Three-and-a-half acts of soap opera melodrama followed by a couple scenes of pseudo-philosophizing during the denouement -- all flavored with Strindberg鈥檚 unique fusion of mania and misogyny. Not quite rubbish鈥ut close.
