Narrator Robert Whitfield.
Samuel Barclay Beckett (13 April 1906 . 22 December 1989) was an Irish writer,
dramatist and poet. Beckett's work offers a bleak outlook on human culture and
both formally and philosophically became increasingly minimalist.
As a student, assistant, and friend of James Joyce, Beckett is considered by
many one of the last modernists; as an inspiration to many later writers, he
is sometimes considered one of the first postmodernists. He is also considered
one of the key writers in what Martin Esslin called "Theatre of the Absurd."
Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969.
