From the Back Cover In this beautiful short text we are given a picture of a body crouched in a confined space, carefully described, a living tomb that is becoming a lifeless tomb. The thoughts, anguish, prayers, and memories are those so many suffer in this cruel world, but the picture we are given is universal and metaphorical, deeply moving and imbued with all the poetry of Beckettian prose. This is part of a series of twelve short volumes brought out ten years after the great writer's death, containing the best of the shorter writing, ranging from early work to his final writings. All have covers with the photographs of Samuel Beckett taken by the Irish photographer John Minihan, which, catching the author in different moods, have become classics on their own. Product Description A novella written in 1963. The narrator, like a dying elephant, looks for a place to expire and finds one, small, narrow, minutely described , filled with memories and remembered images. A work of rare poetic intensity.
