One work by this author sees the title hotel manager become an alcoholic after being removed from power in the fictional country of Jura, while his first play consisted entirely of a man and a girl standing on chairs, holding and releasing hands. This author of M. le Modéré and Les Mains Blanches described his time in Argelès in L'Aveu. He advocated the idea that the theater should show both "le mal curable" and "le mal incurable"; one play in which he put this idea into practice sees the revolutionary Robert Marpeaux sent to South America at the behest of the titular butterfly collector. Another of his plays was written to represent the idea of "personne n'entend personne"; that work sees garbagemen sweep away the body of N., one of the suitors of Lili. The most famous work of this author of (*) Paolo Paoli and La Parodie ends with Victor's death, which comes after he and the protagonist, Arthur, had become obsessed with pinball machines. For 10 points, identify this author of Ping-Pong, a Russian-born proponent of the Theater of the Absurd.
