Six Characters in Search of an Author, by Luigi Pirandello
Six Characters was another play I read as a student at Northwestern University. Now and then, over the years, I mull over the notion of a piece of art having a life of its own, that is, removed from the artist. It may not seem so far fetched, when we consider that there are obscure books, paintings or artifacts whose origins are unknown. They are essentially pieces looking for their creator, aren't they. But it may also be a child, now an adult, who seeks the parents who put him or her up for adoption.
