[.ca] First Love and Other Shorts (ISBN 0802151310)

The rhythm and silenced passion of his writing is amazing.:
I enjoyed this book so much that I am currently writing a paper on it. I'm exploring some Beckett's amazing treatment of the conciousness and the movement that is inherent in each of the pieces. I'm also touching on the pieces as they relate to phenomenology and the study of experience expressed in conciousness. Unfortunantly, I need to know how this collection was compiled, when, and under whose authorization. This is very important to my thesis. If any one knows where I could find that information I would appreciate a response.

Wunnerful:
There are few short stories that leave one feeling satisfied. Fortunately, this is not one of them. It has been ages since I read it, but I cannot help but recall the feeling it evoked. All in all, love fails us. All in all, we fail to tell well of the process by which it fails us. Beckett fails better than us all. God bless you, Sam, for always pointing us toward the unutterable. The other stories I do not remember. But "First Love" alone is worth all these fellows ask of you.
