The Letters of Samuel Beckett, 1966-1989 A Lifetime of Writing

Written between 1966 and 1989, and more than ever marked by the creator’s struggle with words, Beckett’s final letters are those of a man who has become, for an entire generation, the embodiment of literature, but a literature that refuses any professionalization. Writing, and work with language, at the heart of all Beckett’s preoccupations and friendships, are indeed henceforth the only great occupation of a life that had already lasted too long, to his mind.
