Product Description This volume contains two dramatic works by Samuel Beckett and his Dialogues with the art critic George Duthuit on the nature of art. 'Human Wishes' is a fragment of a play begun in 1938 and never completed about Dr Johnson and Mrs Thrale. It points the way to the post-war 'Eleutheria', written just before 'Waiting for Godot'. 'Come and Go' dates from 1967 when the author was producing highly concentrated short plays of great poignancy. Three school friends, now old women, each tell a secret about one of the others, a tragedy delicately told in a few minutes. The Duthuit Dialogues, discussions of the art of Tal Coat, André Masson and Bram van Velde, enable Beckett to expound his highly unconventional views on the nature and purpose of art. The other speaker is the art critic George Duthuit. From the Publisher 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.
