Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), one of the leading literary and dramatic figures of the twentieth century, was born in Foxrock, Ireland and attended Trinity University in Dublin. In 1928, he visited Paris for the first time and fell in with a number of avant-garde writers and artists, including James Joyce. In 1937, he settled in Paris permanently. Beckett wrote in both English and French, though his best-known works are mostly in the latter language. A prolific writer of novels, short stories, and poetry, he is remembered principally for his works for the theater, which belong to the tradition of the Theater of the Absurd and are characterized by their minimalist approach, stripping drama to its barest elements. In 1969, Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and commended for having "transformed the destitution of man into his exaltation." Beckett died in Paris in 1989.
At the age of seventy-six he said: "With diminished concentration, loss of memory, obscured intelligence... the more chance there is for saying something closest to what one really is. Even though everything seems inexpressible, there remains the need to express. A child need to make a sand castle even though it makes no sense. In old age, with only a few grains of sand, one has the greatest possibility." (from Playwrights at Work, ed. by George Plimpton, 2000)

From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … Waiting for Godot is one of the masterpieces of the century.”
The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.

读后感
选集里面好像郭翻译的文章都属于重度困难的，特别难以进入。例如在《世界与裤子》中缺少相应的译者注，很多美术的东西都需要大量相关知识背景，硬读下去对普通读者来说非常吃力。《无法称呼的人》则本来就难，全部都是飘忽的心理活动，翻译成中文令我觉得一定少了什么东西，就...
评分《等待戈多》的主题，相较于它所颠覆了的西方戏剧传统显然更具开放性。人们可以认为，它展示了一个没有时间、循环往复的世界，或者意在说明“在人类存在中并不真的发生过什么”，再或者，它展示的是当代西方人在失去信仰及形而上追求后的荒诞世界中的尴尬处境。这些都对。连贝...
评分毫无疑问，这是一本享有盛名的书。毫不讳言，我没怎么读懂，而且，不怕暴露我的浅薄的品味，我的确不怎么喜欢这本书。 但其实，话说回来，这本作为荒诞派戏剧的代表作，由于其本身的荒诞性，让作为读者的我们读不懂倒是很合乎逻辑的。对于除诗歌以外的文体，我毫...
评分如果说我在《等待戈多》中看见了一样东西，那就是“虚无”，或者说某种荒诞，即存在之无意义。我相信，贝克特的这个剧本是一场关于存在、关于存在的价值与意义的对话。 关于存在的意义的讨论由来已久，生命总是和痛苦、死亡联系在一起的，然而比死亡更为可怕的是生存的毫无意义...
评分小说是如何切入人的？就一个故事而言，它呈现的不是全体的人，不是人的全体，而是人的切面（至于最后出来的效果是否具有普遍性，那是另一回事）。甚至，是人体内的一个小黑点，一块组织，一个细胞，一个疼痛的针尖。 故事就是从这个小黑点生长起来的。或者说，故事只能从这样一...

“To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us... What are we doing here, THAT is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing along is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come—“
评分The next day, they hanged themselves, leaving this dreamy world of absurdity.
评分"You don't know if you're happy or not?" "What do we do now, now that we are happy?" “I don't know why I don't know!"
评分The way I see it just for now, we are all waiting for Godot (or at least try to believe so). That's the way we live by, but ironically how we don't live on.
