Description

Samuel Beckett - Company / Ill Seen Ill Said / Worstward Ho / Stirrings Still (Faber & Faber, 1981).

Epub and mobi formats from a retail source.



Worstward Ho is the source of this quotation:

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No mat­ter. Try again. Fail again. Fail bet­ter."

There's a webpage (worth finding!) that contains excerpts from Worstward Ho alternating with paraphrases. Valuable if Worstward Ho sounds like gibberish to you. Sometimes this webpage has been distributed as if that text is the whole of Worstward Ho, but it isn't.


description:

These four last prose fictions by Samuel Beckett were originally published individually, and their composition spanned the final decade of his life. In Company a solitary hearer lying in blackness calls up images from the far-off past. Ill Seen Ill Said meditates upon an old woman living out her last days alone in an isolated snow-bound cottage, watched over by twelve mysterious sentinels. In Worstward Ho, a breathless speaker unravels the sense of things, acting out the unending injunction to ΓÇÿTry again. Fail again. Fail better.ΓÇÖ And Stirrings Still, published in the Guardian a few months before BeckettΓÇÖs death in 1989, is the last prose work and testament of ΓÇÿthis great soothsayer of the age, and of the agedΓÇÖ (Christopher Ricks).

The present edition includes several short prose texts (Heard in the Dark I & II, One Evening, The Way, Ceiling) which represent work in progress or works ancillary to the composition of these late masterpieces.

Edited by Dirk Van Hulle.
