Description
|
|
|
|
This "high energy and boisterously libidinous" (Booklist) first novel from Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett, though unpublished in his lifetime, is a savory and accessible introduction to the playwright and author who later gave us Waiting for Godot and the trilogy Molloy, Mallone Dies, and The Unnameable. Following the wanderings of Belacqua—a young version of Molloy, torn between two loves—Dream of Fair to middling Women was written in a white heat in the summer of 1932, when the 26-year-old author was poor and struggling, and he later called it "the chest into which I threw all my wild thoughts." This handsome edition is printed on cream stock with textured covers, silver stampings on the cover and spine, and a ribbon marker. "Opened at last, the chest brims with treasures."—The New Yorker
