- Release Date: 2024-10-15
- Genre: Fiction & Literature
This illustrated collection brings together the profound and enigmatic short prose of Samuel Beckett, one of the most innovative voices in 20th-century literature. Known for his stark minimalism, existential themes, and dark humor, Beckett’s short prose pieces explore the human condition with unflinching honesty and deep philosophical insight.
Spanning various stages of Beckett’s career, this collection includes stories, sketches, and prose fragments that highlight his mastery of language and form. His characters, often caught in absurd or isolated situations, grapple with themes of memory, time, identity, and the often futile search for meaning.
