Melly, the link won't open for me.

Was it an entire Beckett play lost inside a James Joyce sentence?

Oh this is even better!

Disclaimer: I love Beckett. I really do. This was just too priceles not to share.

"And, as if to further exemplify the anonymity and facelessness of 20th-century man, they were found, of all places, between other sheets of paper."

Another example of his genius!

I can't wait to see how this gets performed.

TED, they said it would be performed during the intermission of Waiting for Godot.

eta: Here's a question for you. When you're watching Waiting for Godot, how can you tell the intermission from the end?

What if the end was really supposed to be a second intermission, and this lost play was intended to be the last act?

(Oh dear. I just had a pang of missing lucy. He would know what to make of this discovery.)
