Aspettando Godot

I read this for a district parent approval committee to decide if high school seniors should be allowed to read this book in class. TBH none of us on the committee, even the teachers, really liked it, but hey, at least it's short. And kind of funny, I guess, at least a tiny bit. We're hoping the film lit teacher who wants to use it will be able to put it in a better context for their students. I definitely think seeing the play would be a better experience than just reading it.
