Now most collectors understand that the true worth of a card is what it goes for on eBay, not what Beckett has it listed.

Funny you should mention this since Beckett back in the 90s was the authoritative price guide for baseball cards.

But to make it more shady, Beckett now offers grading services for the very cards it prices.

They said it after every novel Beckett wrote, and they said the short story was dead after Borges became known in America.

Samuel Beckett used to drive André to school in his pickup truck.

I was using the term in neither the mainstream nor the technical sense, but in the Dr Sam Beckett sense.

I tried not to sound like this by bringing up Beckett as a contrast.

You're not highbrow enough because you've set up a pedestal with Joyce on it (and Beckett as an understudy) and this state of affairs is too complacent.

(You know how you'd react if a guy started talking about the playwright Beckett to you in random conversation?

I see a connoisseur of Samuel Beckett assigned me one downvote.

Understand that I came across Joyce and Beckett before I developed a diverse taste in movies/music/art, and so they stick out in my mind in a way other things don't.

Here are a few, off the top of my head: The First Man by Albert Camus (novel) The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde (short story) Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett (play) If you want something challenging, try Cervantes' Don Quixote.

Anyway, we should not forget that Beckett wrote Godot in French, so the correct form is: "Godot!

His first production in the UK was Waiting… in 1956, a project born out of a desire to film Samuel Beckett’s stage play “Waiting for Godot”.

Reminds me of "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett...

For example: "Samuel Beckett’s restrictions on the staging of his plays is a well-known example of the exercise of copyright as a moral right." and "...although the buyer of a work of art may destroy it, he or she cannot deface or otherwise alter it." as well as the inability to copy or publish out of print books.

Beckett however, was unhappy with the textual changes Gadyukin proposed and withheld permission for an adaptation.

For BGS (Beckett Grading Services), they use a 10 point scale with half points.

Beckett, on the other hand, who was Nabakov's moral and intellectual superior, developed his style as an antithesis to Finnegans Wake and cited it as his greatest inspiration.
