a little bit of a let down
while this book does have some really interesting parts in it i felt that some of it was either rehash or simply stuff I couldn't care less for (Beckett as a golfer for example).It's sad that all the interviews with Beckett are pre-WWII because I'd really like to hear his thoughts on the trilogy,Godot,so on.
