Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett - Grove Press Paperback Edition | Classic Absurdist Theater Play for Drama Students & Book Clubs

Waiting for Godot (originally published in French as En Attendant Godot) is a great book. Although Waiting for Godot isn't the greatest book of all time, it should be read by every serious reader. I am a bit biased. Here's why:During my junior year of college, our French department held an artistic competition. My instructor in intermediate French (I was a history major) encouraged me and a classmate to do a scene from the book (in French, of course!). We probably did the first third of Act II.Anyway, I happened to be Vladimir, so I would open our skit with the song (the start of Act II). My classmate and I took the assignment seriously. We memorized our lines, and I came up with a simple melody for the song.My recollection is that we were a hit and landed first prize in the competition (ahead of all the participating French majors!). First prize was a nice art book.That was many years ago. I don't remember my classmate's name or my instructor's name. However, I do remember the words to the song (in French) as well as the melody.
