In the 70s I opted for that series of novellas he wrote such as Company, Ill Seen Ill Said and Worstward Ho. I'm not sure I understood any of them any better than Watt but I could manage the bite-sized chunks of his inspired verbiage a little easier. Every now and then I take some Beckett off the shelf and am transported into some strange territory that looks like home but feels utterly alien.Sid Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902574081691402376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13255441.post-22366140639227184542008-03-01T21:37:00.000+00:002008-03-01T21:37:00.000+00:00Nominations for 1.

God?<BR/><BR/>"Watt" one of the most challenging books I ever read twice, and still, I know I'll read it again, and still, I know I'll be perplexed.<BR/><BR/>I always think of him when I'm eating a stinking, rotten gorgonzola and mustard sandwich on burnt toast, or dropping a lobster into boiling water, his inscrutable countenance staring back at me from beyond, uttering another phrase of incredible density.<BR/><BR/>Also, look at that sweater, and the hair. He's a strong contender.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568163831561012077noreply@blogger.com
