{"product_id":"suzanne-dumesnil-suzanne-beckett-emilie-morin-9781009585569","title":"Suzanne Dumesnil, Suzanne Beckett","description":"Little has been written about Suzanne Beckett, née Déchevaux-Dumesnil (1900-1989). As Samuel Beckett's lifelong companion, she found herself in a peculiar quandary, owing to the amounts of support required by Beckett's unease with success and with the business of writing, and owing to her deep awareness of the damage that fame can cause to everyday life, friendships, and freedom. This Element offers the first full portrait of this elusive figure. It contextualises the texts she wrote under the name Suzanne Dumesnil, emphasises the significance of her artistic and literary accomplishments, and discusses her steady labour, her uncompromising discretion, and her profound reluctance to ever become a public figure as Beckett's wife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emilie Morin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009585568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009585569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Emilie Morin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47201099612415,"sku":"9781009585569","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d2a3be3-c93a-4f5a-8cf2-71f5b3f93ef5.jpg?v=1756788869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/suzanne-dumesnil-suzanne-beckett-emilie-morin-9781009585569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
