Beckett in Conversation, "Yet Again" / Rencontres Avec Beckett, "Encore"

Inexhaustible Beckett: even as his oeuvre continues to mark today's literary, dramatic and other arts, the man and artist remain alive in the memories of those who knew him personally. Collected here are conversations with the author recalled by translators, scholars, artists, and theatre and media practitioners drawing on unpublished notes of meetings and uncollected (mostly) correspondence with him. Through the varied lenses of their reminiscences, readers will appreciate Beckett's remarkable art of letter writing, his conversation punctuated by pregnant pauses, his exceptional humor and talent for friendship, and his punctilious concern for the translations, interpretations, and performance of his works. The readers of this volume will come to share the exhilaration the encounters with Beckett produced in the writers of these memoirs.

In puisable Beckett... Non seulement son oeuvre reste vivante et laisse son empreinte dans la litt rature, le th tre et les arts actuels, mais sa personnalit d'homme et d'artiste continue marquer ceux qui l'ont connu personnellement. Ce sont les t moignages de plusieurs d'entre eux que nous reproduisons ici. A travers leurs diverses perspectives, le lecteur pourra appr cier cet art pistolaire propre Beckett, celui de sa conversation ponctu e de silences lourds de sens, son humour exceptionnel ainsi que son talent pour l'amiti , autant que la rigueur pointilleuse qu'il apportait aux traductions, interpr tations et mises en sc ne de ses oeuvres. Nous esp rons que les lecteurs de ce volume pourront partager l'enchantement ressenti par les auteurs de ces m moires lors de leurs rencontres avec Beckett.
