Waiting for Godot
by
Samuel Beckett
Introduction of Writer
Samuel Beckett 13 April 1906 - 22 December 1989
An Irish novelist, playwright, short story writer, theatre director, poet, and literary translator.
A resident of Paris for most of his adult life, he wrote in both French and English.
Beckett's work offers a bleak, tragi-comic outlook on human existence, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humour, and became increasingly minimalist in his later career.
He is considered one of the last modernist writers, and one of the key figures in what Martin Esslin called the "Theatre of the Absurd".
His best-known work is his 1953 play Waiting for Godot.
Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature
