Description
Read by Patrick Magee. An excerpt from How It Is, Beckett's English translation of Comment c'est, a three-part novel narrated by a man crawling through mud, recounting his life before, with and after Pim, a companion. It was one of the most difficult pieces he ever wrote and then translated, working on it almost exclusively for over two years at his isolated country retreat in the Ussy region of France.

On 24 March 1958, Beckett wrote to Magee while in the midst of writing "your monologue"--i.e. Krapp's Last Tape--and referred to Magee's readings from Molloy and "From an Abandoned Work": "Donald McWhinnie will have told you how much I was moved by your readings, I look forward to hearing you in Malone." -The Letters of Samuel Beckett: 1957-1965, p. 120
