Beckett (NP)

[JD]

Thanks!

Yeah I was mainly looking for books to dig into.  samuel-beckett.net, well,
I perused it but it isn't exactly a "perusing" kind of site it seems :P
Perhaps when I'm less tired.

Oomph, End of Modernity is $155.  Uh, pass.  I suppose there's always that -
what is it - lie...berry?  For some reason when it comes to personal
interest I'm totally uninterested in renting books as I like to have them
around.  I'm a greedy sumbitch it seems.  As well as one who, apparently,
has absolutely no desire for anything short of a barren crawlspace left in
my apartment.

I'm ordering Damned to Fame, Naming Beckett's Unnamable, Dismemberment of
Orpheus, and The Stoic Comedians.

Should keep me good for awhile.

I wrote a quick email to someone who had written a recent article on the
staging of his plays and he recommended I look into John Calder.
