Three important plays: Waiting for Godot; Happy Days;

the critic Vivian Mercier wrote that Beckett "has achieved a theoretical impossibility—a play in which nothing happens, that yet keeps audiences glued to their seats. What's more, since the second act is a subtly different reprise of the first, he has written a play in which nothing happens, twice.

Samuel Beckett (1906-1989)
Irish avant-garde novelist, playwright, theatre director, and poet.
Wrote in both French&English
His work: a bleak, tragicomic outlook on human nature, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humor.
他的小说没有连贯的情节和动人的故事,其晦涩程度和 当时勃兴的意识流小说并无差别。
多采用一种环形封闭的结构,情节不断繁衍而又不断消 解。主要情节被不断打结和扯断,直至被叙事彻底解构。

பைடு நூலகம்
His Drama
Theatre of the Absurd: Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.
The Setting: a landscape, strange and alien, a country road or an actual lonely road, a single tree.
No final closure in the Beckettian universe, the characters take refuge in repetition, repeating their own actions and words and often those of others----- in order to pass the time.
