Biografia ragionata.
http://www.cronologia.it/storia/biografie/becket.htm

Extractions: PERSONAGGI SAMUEL BECKET di Maria Viteritti Samuel Beckett nasce il 13 aprile 1906 in Irlanda, a Foxrock, un piccolo centro vicino a Dublino, dove trascorre un'infanzia tranquilla, non segnata da eventi particolari. All'età di 14 anni frequenta la stessa scuola di Oscar Wilde, la Port Royal School. Nonostante eccella in moltissime attività (soprattutto sportive, ma è anche già interessato alla letteratura, infatti comincia a studiare Dante con profondo interesse), Beckett coltiva già da ragazzo i segni di un profondo malessere interiore di cui porterà i segni tutta la vita: cresce nella più totale solitudine, isolandosi completamente da chi lo circonda; lo stato di depressione in cui vive è tale da costringerlo a letto giornate intere: spesso infatti non riesce ad alzarsi fino a pomeriggio inoltrato, tanto è pesante da sopportare la realtà che lo circonda. Nonostante ciò, non sono poche le donne disposte a cascare ai suoi piedi; fra le ammiratrici vanterà anche la figlia di James Joyce; però non accetta le avances di nessuna, ancora fermo nell'idea di non legarsi a nessuno. Arriverà addirittura a rompere con la sua prima ragazza perchè non disposto a soddisfarla fisicamente!... La prima svolta importante avviene nel 1928, quando decide di spostarsi a Parigi in seguito all'assegnazione di una borsa di studio da parte del Trinity College, dove studia francese e italiano.

Extractions: The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don't want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the shit the more I am grateful to him. He's not f-ing me about, he's not leading me up any garden path, he's not slipping me a wink, he's not flogging me a remedy or a path or a revelation or a basinful of breadcrumbs, he's not selling me anything I don't want to buy he doesn't give a bollock whether I buy or not he hasn't got his hand over his heart. Well, I'll buy his goods, hook, line and sinker, because he leaves no stone unturned and no maggot lonely. He brings forth a body of beauty. Samuel Beckett is sui generis...He has given a voice to the decrepit and maimed and inarticulate, men and women at the end of their tether, past pose or pretense, past claim of meaningful existence. He seems to say that only there and then, as metabolism lowers, amid God's paucity, not his plenty, can the core of the human condition be approached...Yet his musical cadences, his wrought and precise sentences, cannot help but stave off the void...Like salamanders we survive in his fire.

Extractions: Samuel Beckett Samuel Beckett was born on Good Friday, April 13, 1906, near Dublin, Ireland. Raised in a middle class, Protestant home, the son of a quantity surveyor and a nurse, he was sent off at the age of 14 to attend the same school which Oscar Wilde had attended. Looking back on his childhood, he once remarked, "I had little talent for happiness." Beckett was consistent in his loneliness. The unhappy boy soon grew into an unhappy young man, often so depressed that he stayed in bed until mid afternoon. He was difficult to engage in any lengthy conversationit took hours and lots of drinks to warm him upbut the women could not resist him. The lonely young poet, however, would not allow anyone to penetrate his solitude. He once remarked, after rejecting advances from James Joyce's daughter, that he was dead and had no feelings that were human. In 1928, Samuel Beckett moved to Paris, and the city quickly won his heart. Shortly after he arrived, a mutual friend introduced him to James Joyce, and Beckett quickly became an apostle of the older writer. At the age of 23, he wrote an essay in defense of Joyce's magnum opus against the public's lazy demand for easy comprehensibility. A year later, he won his first literary prize10 pounds for a poem entitled "Whoroscope" which dealt with the philosopher Descartes meditating on the subject of time and the transiency of life. After writing a study of Proust, however, Beckett came to the conclusion that habit and routine were the "cancer of time", so he gave up his post at Trinity College and set out on a nomadic journey across Europe.

He survived two decades of being ignored, ignored further years of bemusement after the play in which "nothing happens - twice" brought him to prominence, and spent the rest of his life in grand isolation from increasing academic sainthood. "He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the shit the more I am grateful to him," gushed Harold Pinter. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969 "for his writing, which - in new forms for the novel and drama - in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation" and the Croix de Guerre for his Resistance work.

For I stopped being half-witted and became sly, whenever I took the trouble. And my head was a storehouse of useful knowledge.

Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world." The Theatre of the Absurd Irrational Man : A Study in Existential Philosophy For those of you who want to learn a lot about existentialism, and/or those of you who find Husserl, Heidegger, and Sartre to be dauntingly difficult and/or time-consuming, this book is hands-down the best. Written in the late 1950's, "Irrational Man" is largely responsible for introducing existentialism to America. Barret provides excellent summaries of the work of all of the major figures in existentialism (with the exception of Merleau-Ponty) and brilliantly integrates their work within Western literary, religious, artistic, and philosophical traditions. Barret provides great insight on the roots of existentialism in the history of Western civilization, and in doing so also constructs a highly informative narrative about that history itself.

http://www.themodernword.com/beckett/beckett_feldman.html

Extractions: No other musician on these pages can stake a claim for primary Beckett-related importance more than Morton Feldman, the iconoclastic American composer. Not only are Feldman's timeless, repetitive compositions often evocative of Beckett's minimalist prose, but a meeting in Berlin, 1976, lead to a warm relationship between the composer and the writer, one that bore fruit in several projects and collaborations. Born in New York in 1926, Morton Feldman studied music and piano privately with several teachers before becoming the pupil of Stefan Wolpe after graduating high school in 1944. Spending much of this time "arguing about music," Feldman absorbed his lessons in academic atonality, but found himself still struggling to find his own voice. (He also absorbed some of his teacher's fondness for the visual arts.) In 1950 he met John Cage at a New York performance of Webern's Opus 21, quickly falling into a relationship that had a profound impact on his artistic development. Encouraging the younger composer to follow his instincts, to open his music to indeterminacy, and to challenge all forms of received tradition, John Cage became a mentor and even something of a father-figure, and their friendship lasted the rest of their lives.
