A comprehensive overview of the Irish writer’s works (some originally in French) edited by the publisher, editor and translator Richard Seaver. Novel excerpts, plays, poems and literary criticism are all here. There is some dense James Joyce-like prose, especially in the early writing, which can be hard to get through at times.

What is common to most of Beckett’s work is humor, especially in his classic play “Waiting for Godot,” always a joy to read and re-read. ( )

Surprisingly funny and dark. An important volume. So great to see early work like "Dante and the Lobster" alongside the later works.

Below, a few lines that show his sharp-witted sensibility:

--
From "Dante and the Lobster:"

"Now the great thing was to avoid being accosted. To be stopped at this stage and have conversational nuisance committed all over him would be a disaster."

"His aunt was in the garden, tending whatever flowers die at that time of year."

--
The opening line of the brilliant "Murphy:"

"The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new."

--
From "The Expelled:"

"I would have crushed him gladly, I loathe children, and it would have been doing him a service, but I was afraid of reprisals. Everyone is a parent, that is what keeps you from hoping."

This would be placed more accurately on my "currently reading" list, but the start of fall semester seems to have strong armed this one back onto the shelf. When I have some free time, however, I plan on going back to explore the rich and ridiculous prose, poetry and drama of this writer. I don't know if I really get the "big idea" yet, but I have a feeling that might be the point... that there really is no big idea. Do I win? Anthologies in general, and so by association this one, can be effective tools to explore the the works of a specific author, although Beckett may not be as fitting for a high school room as the likes of Poe or Twain.

The best introduction to Beckett: If you've never heard of Beckett, this is the first thing you should check out. Richard Seaver's introduction is an added bonus, which helps us understand Beckett even more. All in all, a fabulous book.
