Following his remarkable trilogy - Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable - which is generally counted among the most daring and important prose works of the century, Samuel Beckett here continues his fascinating exploration of the human condition. "Beckett's world, in its comedy and pathos, is a triumphantly human one" (Saturday Review).
