Pinter > Beckett (only slightly)

In the absurdist stakes, Beckett has some really out-there plays (Endgame, Play, Breathe etc.) but Pinter's plays are linked to the absurdity of reality and (sometimes) real situations.

I will try to convince my year 11 students this year that both are amazing and they must appreciate them! Or at least expose them to absurdist theatre.

Beckett's a genius; check out Malloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnameable; better than Godot for me, but admittedly not as influential.

Also, you should create a single thread for all the books you want to discuss so people don't get pissed off at you, eggman.

And I'm also going to call you out and say that I don't believe you're reading all these books you're posting about, or if you are the thoughts in them are well over your head; this isn't an insult, I just know that a twelve year old cannot grasp the concepts in these books fully, hell I can't unless I go read the literary criticism on the books. That being said you're searching for the right books I think

Oh, you mean Beckett's trilogy (sorta) of novels? Isn't there some collection containing all three novels? If there is one, and if I happen to find it, I will definitely check it out. They sound interesting. 🤔
And I think I mentioned this before in their threads, but I haven't yet read The Satanic Verses and Finnegans Wake. I explained it in those threads. However, I DID read Waiting for Godot. Did the concepts in it go over my head? I don't know, I just thought it was an entertaining play. Maybe I should go read it again; you know, think about it and all.

Love Godot. You should try plays by Eugène Ionesco (The Bald Soprano, Rhinoceros)...

Passionate reader? Yes.
Making a thread for each book I read? Certainly not. (Though I did read Waiting for Godot just last night.....)

I've heard of The Bald Soprano, but didn't know about the playwright previously, for some reason. 😨
