Perhaps it is worth listening again - because that was, I think, the point I was arguing: about Cooper's limitations, and/but the fact that he dreamt of taking part in 'drama' (have I misremembered? - I thought that was what he said). Not so much merging with Ionesco's absurd as participating in one of his plays? A bit more down to earth, but still beyond him.
