Welcome to Litsy!

I read the Endgame by Samuel Beckett in a college lit course many years ago. It was the strangest thing I had ever read; I fell in love with it. It is absurd, similarly to the more popular Waiting for Godot, but it is darker and really disturbing.

I‘m excited to have found some filmed versions while making this pick, so I look forward to checking them out in the near future!

This is my first time actually reading the text of Endgame, after seeing a stunning filmed version some years ago. It's as violently claustrophobic and funny as I remember. And I feel comforted by it this time. Endgame doesn't need some grand gesture or epiphany to send to its audience, it's content to just stare into the void and invite us to stare alongside it. Not behind it, though, that'd give it the shivers.
