Subject
Beckett, Samuel, 1906-1989. Bing.
Description
Bing typed draft - one of ten toward the short story - with a note by Beckett
Frustrated by the "intractable complexities" in Le Dépeupleur, Beckett laid the text aside in favor of a shorter, simpler prose piece that could be regarded as the "result or miniaturization of Le Dépeupleur. Washington University holds the notebook and 10 typescripts he used to draft the work, as well as autograph and typescript drafts toward the English translation, Ping.
