Was he a hack?

Try 'genius'

Now go back to /r9k/

No.

Nah

>tfw to much of a brainlet too understand Becket

>>9520198
Are you going to redpill me on the Jews and Lord Kek next?

Op, sorry you're a retard. Beckett is one of the most universally praised authors out there, and that includes praise from /lit/.

I'd be curious to know why you don't like him. "He's a hack" doesn't cut it, though.

Laughed hard.

he tries too hard with his plays

his novels are very well-written

essentially, he tries to capture the depth of his novels in his plays through really groan-worthy devices

I guess you are not really familiar with the appraisal for Beckett.

>>9520149
Read Breath
watch a rendition of it
either you are convinced of his geniality or
you conclude he was indeed a hack
not really for both conclusions

>>9520599
>he tries too hard with his plays

No, he doesn't.

>>9520615
Yes, he does.

>>9520659
What does "try too hard" even mean?

Where would I start with Beckett? I'm interested in him but not sure what to read first

>>9520721
I'd say jump right into the trilogy but what you get out of it depends on how much modernism you've read. But it's a better way of getting what he's about than reading Godot which a lot of people shrug off as wacky and randum.

>>9520698
yuh-huh

>>9520684
if you cannot even address the argument, don't even respond to me

>>9520733
If you can't even articulate your argument, don't bother to shitpost. You started this, you develop it.
