Who was Samuel Beckett?

Answer

The author of the masterpiece Waiting for Godot (a play written around 1950), was also a novelist, a short story writer, a poet and an essayist.

His works have been said to be deeply pessimistic about the human condition, but that view many not be too fair. There is also a great and often wicked sense of humour in most of his works. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969.

ANSWER:

Samuel Beckett is perhaps the greatest playwright of the twentieth Century. His work Waiting for Godot is indeed a masterpiece, and it may or may not be fair that his work is viewed as pessimistic but there is a sense in all of his plays and even his novels of waiting to die, a hopeless life spent waiting to die. This is ironic given that Beckett himself lived well into his 90's. Beckett was somewhat of a misanthrope and seemed evermore annoyed with actors and their intrusive interpretations of his work. One of his last plays, Breath, is less than thirty seconds long and has no actors in it.
