I'm hurrying


Asimov does this, two characters talking in a sterile setting, but those ideas explored might not interest you.

Cormac McCarthy's Sunset Limited

I think Beckett does these. Waiting for Goddard, no?

Other playwrights...

I really do recommend Walter Pater's Marius the Epicurean for a passive stroll through ancient Rome discussing philosophy.

>Cormac McCarthy's Sunset Limited
bit more dramatic but a good suggestion

That Beckett play is generally referred to as "Waiting for Godot," not Goddard.

Oh shit. Sorry.

most of Thomas Bernhard's books

Imaginary Conversations by Walter Savage Landor; this is historical figures though not just normal people

Wyndham Lewis' 'Tarr' begins and ends with extended dialogues between two characters

there's also loads of medieval debate poetry - in both middle english and Latin - but it usually deals with religious/ethical themes so it might not interest you particularly

The Confidence Man by Melville is a series of dialogues without any real plot to speak of, but those are conversations between "The Confidence Man" himself and a variety of different characters.

Thomas Mann's, The Magic Mountain is also very much like this.

which are the best conversations? There's like thousands of pages worth of them.

I haven't read anywhere near all of the conversations but the ones i found the most interesting were Diogenes and Socrates (the most famous one I think), Brooke and Philip Sidney and Essex and Spenser.

I don't even like Goddard. Contempt was good, very literary, but it seems it was just a fluke, a perfect storm with Bardot directing just enough of the production

>>8237327
it might be, but i think a more serious difficulty will arise if you are American and don't know much about english history: a lot of the dialogues are between english kings/figures from English history that are pretty obscure even in Britain today.
