Waiting for Godot Book Description Waiting for Godot is the best-known work of Samuel Beckett, the Irish dramatist and novelist. Half a century after it was first published, the play is considered forerunner of the plays of Ionesco, Pinter, Stoppard, and others. Study the play with this volume, which includes some of the best criticism available on the play. The title, Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot, part of Chelsea House Publishers’ Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Samuel Beckett, a chronology of the author’s life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University. The Epitome of Existentialist Literature An existentialist tragicomedy in two acts. I loved this play-- definitely the epitome of a tragicomedy. I laughed out loud at many of the lines from Vladimir and Estragon, the main characters, as well as Pozzo, a man that happens by as they wait for Godot. The deeper themes of the play got me thinking too. Who is Godot and why are these two men waiting for him? Good question. It's not important though-- not as important as their waiting to be saved by Godot at least. The way the characters passed away the time of their waiting made the pages fly by for me-- it seemed I had scarcely started when I was at the end! Highly recommended. Waiting for Godot is a great, quick read. --Reviewer: fictionandprose from OH United States
