Irish Writers
Samuel Beckett
Born in Dublin, Samuel Beckett, widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the 20th century, was an avant-garde dramatist, novelist, and poet, perhaps best known for his play Waiting for Godot. He's often considered one of the last modernists, and sometimes as a postmodernist pioneer due to his minimalist and absurdist influence on subsequent writers. In 1969, Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Christmas is almost here! First, I am happy to report that Sonic did a special on milkshakes in celebration of the Winter Solstice (they were half-price) and I was lucky enough to get one. I had a delicious time sitting by my fireplace slurping a yummy milkshake. I think that milkshake is going to keep me smiling until my family gives me more smiling closer to Christmas. Second, I just wanted to say that I saw Waiting for Godot at my very first Irish Fest. This exciting memory was long ago and far away, okay not so far just in Denver, Colorado. I love that no matter how much fun I continue to have at Kansas City Irish Fest, I will always have a special memory capsule for my first Irish Fest. I hope Kansas City Irish Fest is giving you those first memories and many more!!!
