I cannot explain how amazing it feels to read this for once on /lit/. Young padawan (since it's Becket, maybe a Paddywan, amirite?), you are beginning to reach the borders of poetry.

Beckett is something else - his poetics are more like music, to me - something baroque where you listen to it and think "how can two choirboys and a harp be so pleasing, and yet I have no erection".

Beckett is like harpsichord hip-hop. His novels are pretty fucking extraordinary as well.

Greatest writer of the 20th century? Greatest Writer of the 20th century, although pic related may be knocking on the window. but we'll tell the blind cunt that the party was round the corner and his driver ripped him off, to be sure.

No, I don't even know what trolling means, I'm retarded.

By joke, I mean that he looked around him at his imitators in modernism, and furthermore after years of writing realised that whatever he was trying to do with Finnegans Wake wasn't working. That's when he decided to write a parody of the fractured, stream of consciousness garbage that was becoming as much a cliche within modernism as the cliches modernism was supposed to have overturned. In despair, Joyce published a screed of gibberish that nobody truly understands, but because of an Emperor's New Clothes effect, no-one is prepared to dismiss.

Joyce was probably working on a sequel Trolololol I Troll U.

As for Beckett, I think that if you've ever read anything at all about the man, or have any understanding of his works (far superior to Joyce - the student exceeded the master), then you'd realise that a massive literary troll of this nature would have been entirely relevant to his interests, and he would have almost certainly helped. They probably got pissed up together and wrote the whole thing in a weekend, lobbing random allusions in there every other word and trying to outdo one another in pointless erudition, laughing their cocks off and weeping as they thought of all the scholars and critics wasting their time on this drivel.

I also doubt Joyce's ability as a writer, but that's a story for another day

And I've raked leaves in space.

Does the fact that I prefer his novels to his plays change anything?
