Dialogue, Performance and Language Play

Seventy years after the publication of Samuel Beckett’s first novel in English, Faber have reissued Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable with ritzy new covers and fresh introductions. To celebrate, Lara Pawson, author of Spent Light, and Jennifer Hodgson, whose biography of Ann Quin is forthcoming, deliver their own tribute to Beckett's fiction, and discuss his life and work. ‘Oh the stories I could tell you if I were easy,’ as Beckett wrote, ‘What a rabble in my head, what a gallery of moribunds.’
