This is a work by Beckett that has never seemed to have gotten a lot of attention. The almost humanoid like creatures in this book are examined almost in the terms of a scientist examining an ant colony under a microscope. Inside of a metal like container--(a tube?, a garbage can?) these creatures are running around looking for a way out of their universe. Some believe that the way out of their world can be found by climbing the ladders (that are set here and there) and by pushing on the ceiling which they are just able to reach if they stand on tiptoe on the top rung. Others think that by exploring the same caves and tunnels that are contained in this same cylindrical apparatus that a way will all of a sudden appear even though they've been in and out of these tunnels and caves over and over again. Sometimes some of the ladder climbers try their luck with the caves and tunnels and vice-versa for the tunnel explorers and the ladders. Some just give up all hope and shrivel up upon themselves on the ground or floor. Everyone though is expected to stay in line or trouble ensues. And once in a while a lid is lifted--a bright light shines in and blinds and stuns them. Then the lid is replaced and they go back to their normal activities. This is written pretty much in classic Beckett fashion--an understated almost unemotional and terse prose with elements of farce and humor. Those who do not like Beckett will probably not like this. For those who do and haven't read it though--I think they'll like it a lot when they do--as I did. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In his quest for distilling the human experience into the barest essentials, Beckett tells of a universe of lost bodies roaming the niches and crevices inside a flattened cylinder fifty meters round and eighteen high. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

An extra thought--this work seems highly influenced by Borges' "[b:The Library of Babel|172366|The Library of Babel|Jorge Luis Borges|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1213638002s/172366.jpg|2235183]. ( )
