Three years later, Astrid Lindgren jotted down the Pippi stories and sent them to a publisher, allegedly with the words: "In the hope that you will not alert the Youth Welfare Office." The rejection was prompt. So, her mother Astrid invented a red-headed little girl with freckles and two stiff braids, whose mother is an angel and whose father is a king of the South Seas, and who lives in a house named Villa Villekulla with Mr. "Pippi Longstocking" - that was the name the girl came up with. In Sweden back in 1941, Astrid Lindgren sat beside her little daughter Karin who was sick in bed. About 8.6 million Pippi Longstocking books have been sold in Germany since 1949, from a total of about 70 million worldwide.

In sleep currency, Dear Wife is a two-pots-of-coffee-the-next-morning kind of story. The value of a book should be measured by the amount of sleep you’re willing to sacrifice for the ending.

The play's use of language reflects the absurdity of human attempts to make meaning, incorporating wordplay and pushing the bounds of sense to demonstrate how difficult it is to convey significance. The effort to make meaning thus grows increasingly absurd. All human meaning is undermined by the meaninglessness of the environment humans are forced to inhabit. As a play investigating the central, unknowable mysteries of existence – death and mortal beings' capacity for free will – Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead charts the human struggle to make sense of a universe characterized by utter randomness, harshness towards human life (the universe itself could be seen as the dramatic "bloodbath" described by the Player), and complete apathy towards the human condition.
