Description:Here, more than sixty years after it was written, is Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett’s first novel. Written in a “white heat” in the summer of 1932 at the Hotel Trianon in Paris, when the author was poor and struggling, Dream of Fair to Middling Women offers us a rare and revealing portrait of the artist as a young man. Beckett, just twenty-six at the time, to date had published a few poems, including the prize-winning “Whoroscope,” a penetrating essay on Proust, and a contribution to the collective study of James Joyce’s then Work in Progress, later to become Finnegans Wake.Beckett submitted the novel to several English publishers, all of whom found it too scandalous, too risky (or, said some, too risqué), or too literary. Subsequently Beckett put the work aside, although he pilfered from it from time to time. After fame had overtaken him, he was still reluctant to publish it, partly because it contained thinly disguised and not always flattering portraits of some of the author’s friends and acquaintances in Dublin, and partly because he was always his own harshest critic.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
