Is there a chart for Samuel Beckett? Or else which works of his should I read

>>	Anonymous Wed Aug 10 00:35:29 2022 No.20813706 >>20813684 Just start with the trilogy and go from there. Most people will be good with that and maybe a few plays.

If you want more Beckett after the trilogy then go ahead and read Murphy and Watt, they are both good. I hate reading plays so I have little opinion there. But unless you end up loving Beckett you probably will not feel much need to go beyond the trilogy.

Don't listen to this guy, he's a moron who doesn't get Beckett.

His trilogy is good, but he is undeniably in his element writing plays - some of my favourites specifically are Not I, Play, Worstward Ho, Come and Go, and That Time - but there are tons of brilliant works, and only very short.

However they are as much visual as they are about the language, here's a few links to versions:

Not I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16rSsThMDiU

Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2QJ0FYE3pw

Come and Go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNh3m2xp0k8

That Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ_t8E0oue0

He has a huge rabbit hole to explore, so I'd buy his complete dramatic works and dive in.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 01:59:16 2022 No.20818832 Beckett is simultaneously the easiest and most depressing read of my life, appended with an absolute disdain by a colleague who insisted he was more than he was. Fuck Beckett. Just kill yourself it'll be the same experience.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 10:22:32 2022 No.20820177 >>20818832 I don't think you understand Beckett. A lot of his work is very funny (look at Play in the link above) - he is a social satirist as much as anything else
