The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Written in both English and French, his literary and theatrical works feature bleak, impersonal, and tragicomic episodes of life, coupled with black comedy and literary nonsense.
- As a key proponent of Irish literature, he is best known for his tragicomedy play Waiting for Godot, and is widely regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century, credited with transforming modern theatre.
- For his foundational contribution to both literature and theatre, Beckett received the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his writing, which, in new forms for the novel and drama, in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation." During his early career, Beckett worked as a literary critic and commentator, and in 1930 he took up a role as a lecturer in Dublin.
