Description

Beckett granted permission for this rather elaborate edition to be published, the cost of which was supported by the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Foundation. Features illustrations by Avigdor Arikha and "binding adorned with an original Pablo Picasso drawing."

Arikha was a good friend of Beckett’s and it was not the first time they collaborated. Washington University holds a number of letters from Arikha to Henry Wenning in the Samuel Beckett Papers, as well as two original etchings by Arikha of Beckett.
