hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. New York. 1974. Grove Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket . 0394497228. Translated from the French by The Author. 123 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Kenneth R. Deardoff. keywords: Literature Ireland France. FROM THE PUBLISHER - He summarizes the events in the novel as follows: The two heroes meet and after much hesitation, set off on a vague journey which only twice manages to get them briefly clear of town, They spend a good deal of time in bars and with a friendly prostitute called Helen. They kill a policeman. They curse God and their various ailments and indulge in a little metaphysics. Finally, they drift apart and are brought together again at the close by Watt, making a useful guest appearance from his previous incarnation in Beckett's oeuvre.' As in all Beckett works, a summary of the events in MERCIER AND CAMIER is totally inadequate to convey its impact and texture, Much of it sparkles with music-hall dialogue; the two heroes are inexplicably provided with vaudeville props-a sack, an umbrella, a raincoat-but are soon deprived of these possessions. The conversation turns into gam- bits which give way to descriptions equally valid as landscapes or soulscapes. At every level, MERCIER AND CAMIER is a haunting work which nonetheless is a highly entertaining, in parts hilarious, addition to the Beckett cannon, written with a descriptive prose of original and unusual force and beauty. The first publication in the United States of Samuel Becketts novel MERCIER AND CAMIER is unquestionably a major literary event. It was originally written in French in 1946, but it was not until 1970 that Beckett allowed its publication in Paris. In the many critical discussions and volumes which Beckett's work has inspired, MERCIER AND CAMIER already occupies an important place. Now that Beckett has translated it himself into English, it will become apparent to the reader that it is also one of Beckett's funniest books, rich in both verbal and situational humor as it records the comings and goings of Mercier and Camier, another addition to the repertoire of Beckett's pairs. In the London Observer, A. Alvarez has called Mercier and Gamier a comedy of high style, terser and, I think, funnier than any of his other novels.' . SAMUEL BECKETT was born on April 13, 1906, in Foxrock, near Dublin, Ireland. In 1938 he took up permanent residence in France and has lived there ever since. Few writers have explored more genres than Beckett - essay, poem, story, novel, play, mime, radio play, lyric of fiction. Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. inventory #13094.
