The Beckett industry is weird, the only people that actually care about him are people that want to be him so you've got a industry within another dying industry filled with nobodies receiving awards from awards nobody has heard of leaving a tail of dead careers.

Personally, I find Flann O'Brien to be far more enjoyable to read than Beckett. Do love his plays, especially when he managed to get them filmed (can't possibly sit through another undergraduate-driven rendition of Godot), but he has a tendency to bloat up on the page. Also, naturally, I haven't read all of his work, so it's not like I can speak accurately about him.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 30 17:03:48 2019 No.13912863 He's actually the reason I stopped being Christian when I read a monologue from Endgame at like five years old.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 30 17:05:59 2019 No.13912878 Where do I start with Beckett? I loved studying Waiting for Godot in high school, I read that shit over and over.
