Dante and the lobster
Samuel Beckett, GermanProduct details
It begins with a joke. In November 1930, Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) introduces a poet named Jean du Chas to the literary scholars of Trinity College in Dublin, a poet who does not exist. With parodic pretentiousness and self-absorbed stylistic flair, heightened and kept in check by sarcasm, this text foreshadows Beckett's first posthumously published novel "Dream of More or Less Beautiful Women," which was written in Paris in 1932, as well as the narrative cycle "More Beatings than Wings" from 1934 (from which two stories were included). At the end of the chronologically arranged collection, based on the time of creation, is Still Not More, the author's last prose text, written between 1986 and 1988: almost a scene in the reduction of space and movements; almost a poem in its circling, varying, repeating. "One night.".
