Reviewed by Ruben || ZeileninhalatorVielleicht war es meine überhöhte Erwartungshaltung- denn Warten auf Godot war einfach nicht mein Buch. Sprachlich Weltklasse, dennoch nicht genug um mich zu fesseln, oder gar zu beeindrucken. Vermutlich ein Buch über das man mit Lektüreschlüsseln einen sinnigeren Einstieg bekommt. Ohne Kontext jedoch ein wenig meandernd und nichtssagend.
