Sunset limited (Pan Macmillan)

A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made.§In that small apartment, Black and White, as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history - mining the origins of two diametrically opposing world views, they begin a dialectic redolent of the best of Beckett.§Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life.
