Samuel Beckett: Photographs Book

In a remarkable piece of photojournalism, John Minihan documents the private world of playwright-novelist Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), best known as the author of Waiting for Godot. The expatriate Dubliner is seen directing stage productions of his work, relaxing in a hotel room, chatting with friends in a London pub, and walking the streets of his adopted home, Paris. While the photographer's preface could have been more revealing, his pictures capture--and humanize--that most enigmatic of literary figures. The book provides an ideal complement to James Knowlson's recent biography of Beckett, Damned to Fame.Read More

  • Product Description

    Collected here is a series of photographs by the Irish photographer John Minihan that presents a view of Samuel Beckett that has long been missing. The most remarkable thing about this collection of photographs of Beckett is that it exists at all, for Beckett was notoriously elusive throughout his life. When he was awarded the Novel Prize for Literature, journalists were unable to locate him for interviews and photographs; he did not even go to Stockholm to accept the prize. Minihan's photographs take a rare and intimate look i9nto the life of this intensely private man. Black-and-white photographs throughout
