IB English - texts for next year

Here we go then - texts for next year:

Please buy, read & make notes:

Pablo Neruda: twenty love poems and a song of despair (ISBN: 978-0-224-07441-4)
Emile Zola: Therese Raquin (ISBN: 0-140-44944-2)

Please buy:

Death of a Salesman (Arthur Miller)
Waiting for Godot (Samuel Beckett - English version, not French!)

You don't need to read these in advance (although you can if you want - but don't give anything away to the class) but I would like you to read about the playwrights.

These two texts can be any edition. There will be a 3rd text as well, the title of which I will post later this week - I changed my mind once I saw what Chris had chosen.

Have a lovely summer - you deserve it after all your hard work this year,

Clare
