BECKETT, S.: Unnamable (The) (Unabridged)
|
|
|
|
The Unnamable is the third novel in Becket’s trilogy, three remarkable prose works in which men of increasingly debilitating physical circumstances act, ponder, consider and rage against impermanence and the human condition. The Unnamable is without doubt the most uncompromising text, and it is read here in startling fashion by Sean Barrett.

I might as well tell another of Mahood’s stories…

What is there to add, to these particulars
00:05:10

Of what is it the time to speak
00:05:47

But let us close this parenthesis…

He’s coming, that’s the main thing
00:02:47
|
|
|

|
They look, to see if he has stirred
00:04:03
|
|
|
14.
|
It is strange they do not go…
00:03:26

The fact is they no longer know…
00:04:47

|

… it’s a lie, what would I understand with…
