Confessions of a Fool is a semi-autobiographical novel by Swedish playwright and author August Strindberg, recounting his tumultuous first marriage to Siri von Essen. The book is an intense and often bitter portrayal of love, jealousy, and psychological turmoil, reflecting Strindberg's personal struggles with paranoia and misogyny. Written in a raw and confessional style, the novel delves into themes of gender dynamics, artistic ambition, and the destructive nature of obsessive love, making it both a deeply personal and controversial work in Strindberg's literary career.
