He's born hundred years ago, in 1906, in Dublin I believe. As one of the greatest writers of the 20th century he's the opposite twin to Irish writer James Joyce: minimalist versus universalist, concentration to zero against taking the world inside one book (Joyce's Ulysses or his Finnegan's wake)

As an adolescent I saw Beckett's "Final play" in the theater of Darmstadt. This changed my view of the world. Later we played Beckett ourselves at school in Marburg: "Krapp's last tape".

He settled in Paris, were he died in
