What is it to wait? What do we wait for? And how is waiting connected to the social worlds in which we live? From Beckett's darkly comic play \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e, to the perpetual waiting of refugees to return home or to moments of intense anticipation such as falling in love or the birth of a baby, there are many ways in which we wait. This compelling collection of essays suggests that this experience is among the essential conditions that make us human and connect us to others.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241922805918,"sku":"HPC-9780522856934","price":52.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780522856934.jpg?v=1780360944","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780522856934","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
