After locating Godot within the context of Beckett's work, Lawley discusses some of the play's puzzles and difficulties-including the absent 'fifth character', Godot himself."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Literary studies: from c 1900 -842/.914Lawley Paul1508324UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910787314203321Waiting for Godot3739673UNINA
