Stories and Texts for Nothing

"No one who has read any of Beckett's works will be surprised to find that the first story in the latest term of the series begins with such desperate mathematics, presumably an emblem of the incommensurability of experience, as the permutations of Murphy's biscuits and Molloy's stones are emblems of the limit of human possibilities...To enumerate Beckett's texts and to locate them in time and space is almost as difficult as counting the steps of the workhouse from which his hero is being expelled. This rather short book contains three short stories...His manner is infinitely more refined, better-mannered in the highest sense, than perhaps any other living writer."Beckett, Samuel is the author of 'Stories and Texts for Nothing', published 1994 under ISBN 9780802150622 and ISBN 0802150624.
