D眉rrenmatt’s apparently conflicting statements about his central concerns have baffled scholars attempting to interpret his works. In his critical approach to D眉rrenmatt, Timo Tiusanen emphasizes the author’s relation to the theater, and analyzes the thirteen original stage plays, eight radio plays, and five adaptations, using the special concept of 鈥渟cenic image鈥 developed in an earlier study of O’Neill. Four books by D眉rrenmatt on the theater and politics are related to the dramatist’s creative practice, and his six books of prose are also carefully considered. Exploring the writer’s career to reconcile conflicting attitudes that have been taken toward his work, Timo Tiusanen sees D眉rrenmatt’s writings as representing a persistent effort to express artistically a paradoxical view of the world.
