Good stuff he. Beckett, Ionesco, Shepard and John Guare ruled my high school years. I was a big theater geek.

Thanks for the link Steve. I'd never heard him speak, or indeed imagine him speak, so "HE SPEAKS!" is apposite. He sounds right.

Weird. I was just reading Yoshiki Tajiri's essay "Beckett and synaesthesia" a couple nights ago.

Lot's of Beckett talk lately!

What a cuntsop. I hope the party responsible for making that available gets his.

Still waiting for the stop-motion vegetable version of Endgame which would of course be called Endgamame.

Until this, no one had ever heard him speak that didn't directly correspond with him.

That's really quite moving. I never knew this of him.

Unintentionally perhaps, he looked back to the days when the author's physical voice would die with him.

There's a whole book by him called Beckett and the Prosthetic Body: The Organs and Senses of Modernism which is worth reading if you can find it.

I've seen a couple of his plays produced, but I've never read a word of Beckett. Seems impossible to me, but it's true.

I've only ever seen Krapp's Last Tape. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I will read more of his work, no doubt.

So many books, so little time.

Not Crap.
