Book Reviews of The Complete Dramatic Works
Book Review: 'No Matter,Try Again, Fail Again, Fail Better'
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book few years ago, when I was still new to the writings of Samuel Beckett. Today, however I rate Beckett very highly. He has been an inspiration to many. I admire the unique and arcane atmosphere he is able to create with his characters, who frequently appear to be too intimate to one's entity. I also admire the illusion of straightforward storytelling and it's poetic repetition. I feel that he has given to the drama a new dimension and fresh originality. I often find myself spontaneously re-reading fragments or short paragraphs from this collection. It is a pity that those who appreciate Beckett's twisted perception of humanity are deprived of this volume.
