/lit/ I need some opinions on Beckett's trilogy, how good

Get the trilogy bro. Godot is more interesting to watch, and I think you'd be disappointed in how much literature you get for your buck.

Dude just download ebooks if money is an issue. The Trilogy is amazing, but Murphy and Watt might even be better. I disagree with >>8407251 I think Beckett's plays read well. Then again i've never watched on in person.

They read okay but a good performance is much better.

To be fair a good performance of Godot is quite difficult to find, most people do it too seriously/morosely and miss the jokes, and quite a few try to put too much of their own spin on it.

thanks for the answers guys
I will pull the trigger on the trilogy

Get the trilogy, and watch Godot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wifcyo64n-w

This is the best filmed performance that exists.

I feel poststructural criticism of the trilogy is bullshit but read it first. You hear nonsense about how the unnameable is this ontologically mysterious thing that illustrates the unknowable depths of blah blah when it is more like a shaggy dick joke. Read it though.
