Samuel Beckett, 1951

Dnf


This novel reminds me in some ways of The Sound and the Fury, which I think I also didnt finish. What I mean by that, is (the first part at least) of this novel is written by someone with impaired cognition. So while the author's representation of the condition is admirably done, it is very hard to read and follow.


As I've said before, I do plan to attack the DNFs at the end of the project. Probably with reading guides. At this point I simply want to read as many as I can unaided.
