Whoops! So sorry just took in O'Casey & Three plays. That will teach me to read more carefully but thank you! When "The End of the Beginning" was first published in Windfalls in 1934 it was reviewed by Samuel Beckett, who especially liked it and it subsequently influenced Waiting for Godot.

I will do my best. Thank you. The major highlight is Stephen Rea reviving his exceptional Krapp's Last Tape at The Barbican in London #SamuelBeckett

I think most Joyceans have yet to transfer to this platform hence the dearth of snow related comments on here. Hope by next year normal service will be resumed in the meantime here is a new reading of The Dead from BBC Radio 3. #JamesJoyce

Hooray! Been slowly been migrating here myself. Been surprised at the reluctance of some people/organisations to switch. Looking forward to seeing more of your uplifting life affirming art.
