Review:
"Samuel Beckett, that most taciturn and private of 20th-century writers...was in fact one of the century's great correspondents...[T]he Beckett we meet in these piquant letters,...is rude, mordantly witty and scatological yet often (and this is perhaps the biggest surprise) affectionate and wholehearted."
Dwight Garner, New York Times, 03/05/2009
Review:"[O]n the evidence of this volume, [Beckett's letters]...would...[rank with] the ten or twenty greatest books of their time....[T]he letters...are in the main concerned with the same thing...: the attempt to understand what he hoped to achieve and how the art in question could help him."
Gabriel Josipovici, Times Literary Supplement, 03/13/2009
