WAITING FOR GODOT
by Samuel Beckett
". . . one of the most noble and

deferred but never extinguished; a
play suffused with tenderness for
the whole human perplexity; with
phrases that come like a sharp stab

Times
"One of the most fascinating plays

Grove Press, as are his other works and his novels MOLLOY, MALONE
DIES and MURPHY.
"The reception of Samuel Beckett's new play has been precisely what
the admirers of WAITING FOR GODOT would desire. Fin de Partie
(ENDGAME) has outraged the Philistines, earned the contempt of half-
wits and filled those who are capable of telling the difference between
a theater and a bawdy house with a profound and sombre and para-
doxical joy/'—Harold Hobson in The Sunday Times Vissza
