Samuel Beckett Thread

There's something fundamentally horrifying about Act Without Words I. Probably my favorite Beckett piece.

I don't think the FBI does their fucking jobs anymore

Molloy is my personal favorite. For me it strikes the right balance between avant-garde and readable. It is also extremely funny. Honestly though I love everything I've read from Beckett and I've read a solid chunk of his output.

Krapp's Last Tape is great.

Like they ever did? And now they're underfunded

Anyway, Beckett remains god-tier, I still love Mercier and Camier, which always struck a chord with me because no matter how far you try to run away, home is home

There is something visually striking about his face. What are some more /fa/ writers like Beckett?

I dunno, the image of the man lying on the ground staring at his hands and shivering is one that has haunted me ever since I first read it. Him coming to terms with the futility of his own agency in the face of the unseen puppeteer that keeps pulling away the water he's so desperate to grasp.

It stuck with me in a way that Endgame never has. But I understand that Endgame tends to become more affecting as you age, so I'll revisit it in a couple years.

It's definitely easier than trying to read those damn things

I love Company. It is overlooked as fuck.

I absolutely love Beckett. I have only read his dramatic works, but I really want to start with his prose writings. It's a shame that "Proust" is impossible to find online, or even on Amazon.

Anyone happens to have a PDF of it?
