Tonight’s reading is devoted to the great comic writer Samuel Beckett, who was born April 13, 1906. I’ll read three of his short stories, starting with the longest of them, a story called “Enough.” Now I invite you to close your eyes, calm yourself down, relax completely, and let yourself be taken away while I read to you for a peaceful night of rejuvenating, healthy, deep sleep. After reading the three stories, I’ll read a biographical note about Samuel Beckett. But I expect you’ll be sound asleep by then. Literate sleep.
