I had to read this for a seminar on subjectivity, and it was pretty good. It’s a faster story about a subject trapped in the “oceanic” feeling that Freud had once described. The subject pushes through several stories in order to try and find which one belongs to him, which ends in the reader wondering what’s the truth and what’s just another block of a random story that won’t belong to him in the end anyways.

Pretty sure it‘s genius but neither did I understand nor did I really enjoy. I think I‘ll have to let it sit for a while and read it again afterwards. I‘ll also read the whole trilogy next time.

Whew. The hardest thing I've ever read, and maybe the best

Mr. Beckett and I do not get on. Read [b:Waiting for Godot|17716|Waiting for Godot|Samuel Beckett|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327910301s/17716.jpg|2635502] and then put this book down!

The master of absurd fiction is always a delight to read. After studying both Waiting for Godot and Endgame a couple terms back, this complete overview is a welcome experience. I especially liked his shorter plays, which were totally unknown to me beforehand. Instead of fixating on absurd dialogue about life, death, suicide, atheism, etc., these shorter plays are rather minimalistic, but just as powerful. It is hard not to ponder life's deeper questions when reading Beckett. Highly accessible, compared to other absurd texts, without satisfying clichés. 5/5

Forget going on, I can't even get started with describing what this book did to me.

It was just really boring

Brilliant! Beckett is simply the best playwright ever!
