Overview

This is the second in the famous trilogy of novels written by Samuel Beckett in the late 1940s. An old man is dying in a room. His bowl of soup comes, his pots are emptied. He waits to die. And while he waits, he constructs stories, mainly to pass the time. Saposcat, the Lambert family, Macmann, his nurse Moll and other figures weave in and out of his vision and his imagination.

This is probably a good book if you are looking for great literature. However, it is misidentified here as science fiction. It is not science fiction, except that it may have something in common with the surreal atmosphere that I remember from reading books like Slaughterhouse 5 and 1984. And those books were not really science fiction as much as they were social commentary. You may enjoy it if you're a fan of James Joyce, but if you're looking for science fiction, look elsewhere. Since it's misindentified, I give it 2 stars.
