Samuel Beckett
Samuel Beckett was an Irish playwright, novelist, and poet known for his minimalist and absurdist style. He is best known for his play "Waiting for Godot," which explores themes of existentialism and the human condition. Beckett's works often feature bleak and dark humor, as well as a focus on the futility of human existence. His contributions to literature have had a significant impact on the genre of absurdist theatre and have influenced countless writers and artists. Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969 for his groundbreaking work in the field.
