Much of Beckett's surrealistic mindscape, though at first devoid of any recognizable reality is found by author Eoin O'Brien in the village of Foxrock and Dublin. Filled with black and white photographs that are cross-referenced with Beckett's works such as Waiting for Godot, More Pricks than Kicks, Serena and more. The photographer David Davison then of the Dublin Institute of Technology collaborated.

From Library Journal:

This lavish publication will thoroughly delight newcomers and seasoned Beckett lovers alike. Excerpts from Beckett's works, set off by photographs and seven maps, show us the powerful influence Dublin and its surroundings had on his imagination. But this massive tome is more than just an adjunct to the Beckett canon. It contains little-known photographs and generous selections from unpublished manuscripts and letters as well as pictures taken specifically for the book. The reviewer's proofs no doubt fail to do justice to the finished book, but even rough copies cannot hide the beauty and taste that went into The Beckett Country .
