| The appearance of this brief book, which encapsulates the whole of Beckett''s writing life, is a cause for celebration." The Boston Globe. Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett is one of the most profoundly original writers of our century. He gives expression to the anguish and isolation of the individual consciousness with a purity and minimalism that have altered the shape of world literature. A tremendously influential poet and dramatist, Beckett spoke of his prose fiction as the "important writing" the medium in which he distilled his ideas most powerfully. Here, for the first time, his short prose is gathered in a definitive, complete volume by leading Beckett scholar S. E. Gontarski. "Taken together, Beckett''s short prose pieces not only outline his development as an artist, but suggest as well Beckett''s own view of his art, that it is all part of a continuous process, a series." -from the introduction. "Beckett''s prose, most especially his stories, historically have taken a back seat to his theatrical works and poetry. The works in this collection, eloquent distillations of the writer''s ideas, clearly demonstrate how unfortunate this oversight has been." -Library journal. "One of the most fascinating components of this book is the ''Notes on hte Texts'' which give the full history of each, chronologically all the way from his first short story, ''Assumption'' to the last of ''Stirrings Still''... The scholarly and bibliographical apparatus provided are truly useful and texts have been corrected from numerous erroneous versions. Welcome back, Sam" -The Boston Phoenix.  Ir al inicio |
