From the Publisher:
The San Quentin Drama Workhop presents the first audio book of any of Samuel Beckett's novels in a limited first edition of 1000, the first 150 of which were donated to prison libraries throughout the world.
From the Author:
Approved for publication by the Beckett estate, this is a twenty voice recording featuring Fionnula Flanagan, Colm Meaney, Bairbre Dowling, Morgan Sheppard, Hamilton Camp, Fredd Wayne and Nora Masterson. Many members of the companies of Dublin's Gate Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Britain's National Theatre are included in the cast.
The San Quentin Drama Workshop was Samuel Beckett's American Theatre company of choice. He directed his three most famous plays, "Waiting for Godot", "Endgame", and Krapp's Last Tape" for them. These productions toured throughout the world before being released on video by the Smithsonian Institution.
"The book is full of lies."
To Rick Cluchey, Artistic Director of the San Quentin Drama Workshop, in London, 1986.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Murphy, Samuel Beckett's first novel, was published in 1938. Its work-shy eponymous hero, adrift in London, realises that desire can never be satisfied and withdraws from life, in search of stupor. Murphy's lovestruck fiancee Celia tries with tragic pathos to draw him back, but her attempts are doomed to failure. Murphy's friends and familiars are simulacra of Murphy, fragmented and incomplete.But Beckett's achievement lies in the brilliantly original language used to communicate this vision of isolation and misunderstanding. The combination of particularity and absurdity gives Murphy's world its painful definition, but the sheer comic energy of Beckett's prose releases characters and readers alike into exuberance. Samuel Beckett's first novel. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780571244584
