Samuel BECKETT - Sur les Editions de Minuit - 1988

Samuel BECKETT (1906-1989)

Autograph card signed « S.B » to his friend Bogdan Manojlovic, founder of the Samuel Beckett Association. Paris, April 24, 1988. Envelope preserved. Excellent condition.

Written in Paris in April 1988, this card belongs to the very last years of Samuel Beckett's life, who died the following year, in December 1989. Beckett speaks with characteristic sobriety about the difficulties now related to managing his mail at Éditions de Minuit, his publisher.

« Dear B-M,
I can no longer go to Minuit to take care of my mail.
Letters are forwarded, but not the packages.
Hence my lack of proofreading.
Please forgive me and receive these belated thanks.
Best regards to you all,
S.B »
