“No Exit for Godot: The Absent Savior and the Closed Room of Existential Meaning.”

- A graduate thesis by Jerald J (last name) on the obsession with time, futility, and the inescapable presence of others (or the absence of meaning)

Remember - in Zoo Story, Jerry dies.

It’s the most tragic one-act play ever written.

Is that the “hell is other people one”

I also love the novel “the stranger” by Camus
