That is, I hadn&#8217;t seen anything until tonight. I&#8217;ve been watching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/cgi-registry\/whatson\/template.cgir?s=KCET&amp;t=0&amp;p=20518&amp;c=d&amp;d=2002-09-15\">Beckett on Film<\/a> . I&#8217;m unsure of what to make of it. <\/p>\n<p>Many of the characters seem to be traits or aspects of a person more than fully formed individuals, and there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a lot of plot or drama. Everything is fractured and ambiguous. It&#8217;s interesting in a way, I suppose. Normally, I like ambiguity in my art. Normally, I would expect that I would like this type of thing a lot. I do in a way, but it&#8217;s more because I feel like I should than because I feel like I&#8217;ve really come away with anything. I find I just don&#8217;t have the attention span for it tonight. It reminds me of Kafka. I like Kafka a bunch. I&#8217;ve read everything we still have from him &#8212; some pieces several times (except his journal. I tried, but let&#8217;s be real here). But, I&#8217;m always a little uneasy about it. It&#8217;s like looking into somebody&#8217;s working notes and finding half-formed experiments. It&#8217;s like they aren&#8217;t really meant to be seen. I find it hard to believe Beckett&#8217;s shorter plays actually get staged, but clearly they must.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to admit to never having read or seen anything by Samuel Beckett.
