Beckett

Thoughtful piece on getting into Beckett

“{late Beckett}…This is the point at which Beckett has reduced, condensed and distilled his preoccupations into passages of startling purity and sharpness. It’s as if Beethoven had stripped a whole symphony down to a handful of notes, each deployed in a way that evokes great flights of composition.”

I like Beckett and I find him a very different experience to read than to watch and engage.

Anyone seen much of the on going Beckett?
