Some samples of the savage surrealism of Roland Topor. His novel 'The Tenant', which was later filmed by Polanski, contains a telling quote which sums up his world view:
He was perfectly conscious of the absurdity of his behavior, but he was incapable of changing it. This absurdity was an essential part of him. It was probably the most basic element of his personality.
