    Default Samuel Beckett

    Author Samuel Beckett is best known for his surrealist play, Waiting For Godot, which has been in continuous production, up to and including the present day, since its premiere in 1953. An intensely private individual, Beckett was horrified to learn he had won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969, and promptly gave the entire financial reward away.

    This 1952 comic strip was written by Beckett and illustrated by cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller ("Nancy").



    Beckett once wrote a play entitled Play. His one and only foray into cinema was entitled Film (1965) and starred Buster Keaton. (Silent: 17 min.)

    I remember that a couple of characters in waiting for godot expressed the silly idea of ending their boredom by hanging themselves. They thought that they might get sexually aroused.

    Beckett was a member of the 'absurdist' literary school that included jp sartre. They were atheists. You wont get inspiration from their works, though it can be amusing.
