Beckett: Waiting for Godot (Landmarks of World Literature (New))

Lawrence Graver

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Question your existence with one book
Beckett's Waiting for Godot is on of the most intense existential works since existentailism was founded. The characters may be "stagnant and colorless" (See previous review)- but this is all on purpose - Beckett is showing us how stagnant and colorless our lives are as we wait in our tiny universes for a God to come along and tell us what to believe in. Beckett challenges us to look ...

The Metamorphosis

LeClue 22, 2008

One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of ...

Samuel Beckett

Grove Press, 2006

TOWARD A THEOLOGY OF WAITING: BILINGUAL BECKETT
This review refers to the recent and very welcome bilingual edition of En attendant Godot. Originally written in French as a break while Mr. Beckett tackled his obscure and thick novel writing in exile within southern France from occupied Paris (where he served in the Resistance until directly threatened; please the excellent biography Samuel Beckett: A Biography), Waiting for Godot became one ...

Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts

Samuel Beckett

Grove Press, 1994

Masterpiece of Nothingness
Many parts of this play are comically driven - many are not. And, the majority are neither - or so Beckett may have said as part of his stylistic prank on the reader. Beckett had a target, and he would smile at his target as much as permitted. His dripping dialogue is often interpreted with misinterpretation, misidentification, miscue. That part of the play is resoundingly great. To not have ...

Cliffs Notes, 1980

Waiting for whom?
When the play begins great is our hope to see Godot appearing on the satge.The latter never comes.Not only Vladimir and Estragon are trapped by the process of waiting but we also we are equally trapped for nearly three hours.Nevertheless we leave the theatre wiser.Waiting contitutes an important part of our existence-at all times we are waiting for somet1hing or somebody.At different times we ...

Reading Godot
Lois Gordon

Yale University Press, 2002

Waiting for Godot has been acclaimed as the greatest play of the twentieth century. It is also the most elusive: two lifelong friends sing, dance, laugh, weep, and question their fate on a road that descends from and goes nowhere. Throughout, they repeat their intention "Let's go," but this is inevitably followed by the direction "(They do not move.)." This is Beckett's poetic construct of the human condition. Lois Gordon, author of The World ...

I wore out the binding...
...of this excellent compilation when writing my senior thesis and directing Godot in 1988. Cohn collects some of the most cogent, insightful and stimulating readings on this seminal work of twentieth century theatre.

David Toole

Basic Books, 1998

A must-read book on Christianity and the 20th Century.
David Toole's book is an outstanding contribution to a world struggling to reconcile the fundamental tenets of Christianity with a modernized (some would say post-modernized) materialist, and secular world. Indeed, for all our church going etc., we are a society that will not think twice about desecrating creation to put up yet another strip-mall. What Toole's book so clearly and so ...
