/lit/ - Literature

It's +100 pages of an 'unnamed' narrator slowly sinking bank into the primordial ooze of consciousness. Mind blowing. MIND BLOWING.

I still don't understand what's about and i'm 50% in. I don't even remember anything i've read so far.

I don't get it.

>perhaps the most pointlessly pointed novel which comes to mind.

desu, I haven't read that much really difficult novels, but this one was really weird and incomprehensible. not to say I didn't like it, I really love Beckett.

What the h*ck did he mean by this?

Hello lit! I just finished reading this novel and I absolutely liked it even though is way harder than the preivous two.

Does anyone else see it as a personal experience of Samuel dealing with death and fear of death and/or nothingness? Is true thar Beckett was pretty far away from death when he wrote it but it reads that way. Do you think it is auto biographical?


The other thing I loved was Samuel's genius for visual situations and impossible situations/movements. Like when he images his character as unwinding trough the world and then collapsing in an inward spiral towards itself. Or when he imagines it as having no thickness being pure separation between inwards and outwards. Those images are rrally powerful and Beckett has a genius for expresing despair in metaphores thar mean nothing (much like Kafka's parables).

Watycha think?
