Beckett, Samuel Quotes
Samuel Barclay Beckett (April 13 1906 - December 22 1989) was an Irish playwright, novelist and poet. Beckett's work is stark, fundamentally minimalist, and, according to some interpretations, deeply pessimistic about the human condition. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969 "for his writing, which - in new forms for the novel and drama - in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation". · Can we improve this biography or this incorrect?
