In About Beckett Emeritus Professor John Fletcher has compiled a thorough and accessible volume that explains why Becketts work is so significant and enduring. Professor Fletcher first met Beckett in 1961 and his book is filled not only with insights into the work but also interviews with Beckett and first-hand stories and observations by those who helped to put his work on the stage; including Dame Peggy Ashcroft; Roger Blin; Peter Hall; Max Wall and George Devine. As an introduction to Beckett and his work; Professor Fletchers book is incomparable.

Many of the jokes are some he can share and enjoy with his grandkids. Coming from a musical background; I could really appreciate and relate to the humor. A fun little book musicians and music lovers can enjoy and have a chuckle over.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The "best of" standard musician jokesBy Pat WheelerThe jokes are basically funny; but many are redundant to other musician joke books. In other words; Ive heard most of these jokes.
