>Reading Beckett seriously

Literal quote from Sammy

>"I think the next little bit of excitement is flying. I hope I am not too old to take it up seriously, nor too stupid about machines to qualify as a commercial pilot. I do not feel like spending the rest of my life writing books that no one will read. It is not as though I wanted to write them."

Compare this with Jerome

>"There is a marvelous peace in not publishing. … It's peaceful. Still. Publishing is a terrible invasion of my privacy. I like to write. I live to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure. … I don't necessarily intend to publish posthumously, but I do like to write for myself. … I pay for this kind of attitude. I'm known as a strange, aloof kind of man. But all I'm doing is trying to protect myself and my work."

Life is short. Read what excites u

You're supposed to speculate what the first part is about. It makes more sense towards the end of the novel. Just push through anon, but enjoy the prose. I'm on page 100 and it's day 2, I'm not a great reader by any stretch, but I let myself enjoy the prose.

i've been reading it for about 4 days now, the first half of molloy was crippling at times, but also very very funny. the second half is like a breath of fresh air. I very much like the way he writes, hypnotic as hell. I hear the unnamable is the least comprehensible, so hopefully enough good will is gathered for the tough spots.

Try to read it aloud. Beckett is great spoken

Beckett was depressive, but off he wanted people to read him and people do.

beckett is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century

>>9757199
I am going to filter any post with the words "life is short" in them.

>>9757199
but beckett is very widely read, so he did what he set out to do

This. Especially the Trilogy followed by Watt. The sense of rhythm of insane.

315 farts an hour.

Imma let you guys in on a secret between me and beckett. The unnamable is an erect dick, with one eye that leaks and no limbs, who has anthropomorphized his back story to believing he used to be a man. Ma (n)hood and the worm are his alter egos . If i read another lit crit piece about the ontological unknowability of the unnameable i will shit myself, the dumb bastards.

What am I missing? I'm about 90 pages into Molloy and it seems like a cakewalk so far. What do people find so difficult about it?
