Utterly spectacular. Beckett is no easy read; his postmodern stream-of-conciousness pieces require some serious mental work—I didn't even begin to wrap my mind around 'Ill Seen Ill Said.' But none the less his imagery is powerful and his existential explorations are deeply profound. Utterly captivating and yet cyclical. Beckett's work here is accessible and yet each successive cycle varies the mix a bit so that you learn more and more. Brilliant insights. Beckett manages to pose several questions in a story and leave you with no answers. Began Company while waiting for a play to begin I couldn't put it down, finished it a day later. This is a good introduction for beginning readers of Beckett to his prose.   hide
