Beskrivning
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with the author recalled by translators, scholars, artists, and theatre and media practitioners drawing on unpublished notes of meetings and uncollected (mostly) correspondence with him.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. Inépuisable Beckett… Non seulement son œuvre reste vivante et laisse son empreinte dans la littérature, le théâtre et les arts actuels, mais sa personnalité d’homme et d’artiste continue à marquer ceux qui l’ont connu personnellement. Ce sont les témoignages de plusieurs d’entre eux que nous reproduisons ici. A travers leurs diverses perspectives, le lecteur pourra apprécier cet art épistolaire propre à Beckett, celui de sa conversation ponctuée de silences lourds de sens, son humour exceptionnel ainsi que son talent pour l’amitié, autant que la rigueur pointilleuse qu’il apportait aux traductions, interprétations et mises en scène de ses œuvres. Nous espérons que les lecteurs de ce volume pourront partager l’enchantement ressenti par les auteurs de ces mémoires lors de leurs rencontres avec Beckett.
