Bio sam tako blizu da odustanem negde na pola, kada me je Beket triput uzastopce nokautirao sa maltene reprizom prva dva dela, ali na kraju mogu reći da je vredelo. Bez dileme najčudnije komponovan roman u trilogiji, koji potpuno odbacuje ideju o paragrafu nakon dvadesetak stranica, ali i ideju o tački nakon stotinu i dvadesetak. Na trenutke je stvarno težak za čitanje, ali onda, po sada već običaju za trilogiju, Beket maestralno zatvori krug i sve privede kraju na potpuno zapanjujuć način. Nešto što se možda najbolje da opisati kao poezija u prozi, gde nije važno značenje rečenica već rečenica sama, njena melodija i simetrija, njena lepota. Ali isto tako ovo je i jedan od onih romana kojima mogu da se divim, ali ne i da ih stvarno volim. Veličina, ipak, poseduje neku izvesnu hladnoću genijalnosti. A Beket bogme jeste to na slovo ’g’.

The master of absurd fiction is always a delight to read. After studying both Waiting for Godot and Endgame a couple terms back, this complete overview is a welcome experience. I especially liked his shorter plays, which were totally unknown to me beforehand. Instead of fixating on absurd dialogue about life, death, suicide, atheism, etc., these shorter plays are rather minimalistic, but just as powerful. It is hard not to ponder life's deeper questions when reading Beckett. Highly accessible, compared to other absurd texts, without satisfying clichés. 5/5

"But it didn't happen like that, it happened like this, the way it's happening now, that is to say, I don't know, you musn't believe what I'm saying, I don't know what I'm saying, I'm doing as I always did, I'm going on as best I can."
