{"product_id":"nohow-on-samuel-beckett-9780802144461","title":"Nohow on: Company, Ill Seen Ill Said, and Worstward Ho","description":"The three pieces that comprise this volume are among the most delicate and disquieting of Samuel Beckett's later prose. Each confined to a single consciousness in a closed space, these stories are a testament to the mind's boundless expanse. In \u003ci\u003eCompany\u003c\/i\u003e, a man--one on his back in the dark--hears a voice speak to him, describing significant moments from his lifetime, and yet these memories may be merely fables and figments invented for the sake of companionship. \u003ci\u003eIll Seen Ill Said\u003c\/i\u003e tells of a solitary old woman who paces around a cabin, burdened by existence itself. And \u003ci\u003eWorstword Ho\u003c\/i\u003e explores a world devoid of rationality and purpose, containing the famous directive: Try again. Fail Again. Fail Better. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe quintessential distillation of Beckett's philosophy on human existence and the ultimate example of his minimalist approach to fiction, \u003ci\u003eNohow On\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital collection, concerned with conception and perception, memory and imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Beckett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802144462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802144461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Samuel Beckett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047787622655,"sku":"9780802144461","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abaadcfd-994f-4847-a095-6e3b229ec3b2.jpg?v=1684992177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nohow-on-samuel-beckett-9780802144461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
