Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett

This is a much more descriptive title.

Yes, nothing happens.  But suprisingly, a lot can be said without plot movement.  Do you read this as a modernist work? or a Postmodernist work?

Indeed, and this work would be utterly meaningless if anything happened in it.  As for me, this is definitely one of those times I am torn when it comes to the distinction between modernism and early postmodernism.  I often too quickly put anything so cynical and crushing in the postmodern category, but I definitely see it fitting with the nihilistic tradition of some modernists.
