Easy to read and a great laugh. Lets be simplistic and say Mercier and Camier are a peripatetic Vladimir and Estragon. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802132359, Paperback)

One of the most accessible examples of Samuel Beckett’s dark humor, Mercier and Camier is the hilarious chronicle of its two heroes’ epic journey. While their travels are fraught with complications and intrigue, Mercier and Camier at least “did not remove from home, they had that good fortune.”
