Richard Ouzounian wishes Samuel Beckett a happy centeniary. Well, if it's Beckett we're talking about, "happy" isn't precisely the word we want—and Beckett was all about le mot juste.As far as I'm concerned, the money quote is: "'James Joyce was a synthesizer, trying to bring in as much as he could,' he said. 'I am an analyzer, trying to leave out as much as I can.'"
