Event Details

Modern Classics? Think works by Harper Lee, Ray Bradbury, Alice Munro - and so many more! Join us for discussions about titles, of all genres, that have shaped current literature. New members always welcome.

We will discuss Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.


The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone--or something--named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett's language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.
