Waiting for Godot is a book.
Ohhhhh, I thought it was about Godot, the C# game engine
That's what it's named after! "The engine you've been waiting for."
It's a play. And the famous spoiler is that
Spoiler
Godot never shows up"Where is your Godot now!"
... Sorry, couldn't help myself. 😅😂
Well, yeah, that is one of the interpretations.
no. Beckett specifically said "If I meant God I would have written God."
He also wrote in French, where God is "Dieu" and Godot is "Gohdough" so the pun doesn't work
He was waiting for good dough.
Heads-up, that spoiler formatting might not work for users not on Sync.
Yeah, doesn't work on boost.
Which is weird
spoiler
because boost has a button to add spoilers.I'm on jerboa, and the spoiler part works okay for me. But it somehow swallowed the first part of the post.
I haven't looked on the web client.
I checked and it doesn't work at all on the web.
I don't think that spoiler worked. Maybe because it's all on the same line
No, it's a play
Published in 52 by Les Éditions de Minuit. In a book.
"En attendant Godot"
Yeah sure, I'll admit defeat. Btw, weird flex for an Irishman to write a play in French...
