The novellas are lovely, but his plays are wretched.
it gets talked about, but I agree
I fucking love reading Watt out loud, it almost feels like you're supposed to read it that way

Stfu pleb, you probably just started reading him and thinking you're cool. I'm sure you can't articulate why you like him
I don't know which is worse, his prose or his plays. One of the worst writers I've read.

Reading it in context doesn't make it any better.
>On. Say on. Be said on. Somehow on. Till nohow on. Said nohow on.
>Say for be said. Missaid. From now say for be missaid.
>Say a body. Where none. No mind. Where none. That at least. A place. Where none. For the body. To be in. Move in. Out of. Back into. No. No out. No back. Only in. Stay in. On in. Still.
>All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
>First the body. No. First the place. No. First both. Now either. Now the other. Sick of the either try the other. Sick of it back sick of the either. So on. Somehow on. Till sick of both. Throw up and go. Where neither. Till sick of there. Throw up and back. The body again. Where none. The place again. Where none. Try again. Fail again. Better again. Or better worse. Fail worse again. Still worse again. Till sick for good. Throw up for good. Go for good. Where neither for good. Good and all.

The point is that what follows goes completely opposite to whatever message those corporate retards who've of course never read Beckett keep pulling out the quote for. Would at least be a good way to out pseuds, you'll say, but even they seem to keep away from these words.
