Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature n 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time.

Heavy stuff...I didn't love it as much as Waiting for Godot, but enjoyed it. Worth a read if you're a fan of Beckett's and/or absurd theater/existentialism.
