Champion of ambiguity
The misinterpretations of Beckett's work on his 100th anniversary would not have pleased him
Terry Eagleton
The Guardian
Samuel Beckett was an artist with so jaundiced a vision of human existence that he managed to be born not only on Friday the 13th, but on one that coincided with Good Friday. Later, he would allude to the day of Christ's death in an immortal quip in Waiting for Godot: "One of the [Calvary] thieves was saved. It's a reasonable percentage." This year's calendar to celebrate Beckett's 100th anniversary is crammed with literary events celebrating the life of the modern age's most lovable pessimist, most of them, one imagines, awash with talk of the timeless human condition portrayed in his work.
