The three pieces that comprise this volume are among the most
delicate and disquieting of Samuel Beckett's later prose. Each
confined to a single consciousness in a closed space, these stories
are a testament to the mind's boundless expanse. In Company, a
man--one on his back in the dark--hears a voice speak to him,
describing significant moments from his lifetime, and yet these
memories may be merely fables and figments invented for the sake of
companionship. Ill Seen Ill Said tells of a solitary old woman who
paces around a cabin, burdened by existence itself. And Worstword
Ho explores a world devoid of rationality and purpose, containing
the famous directive: Try again. Fail Again. Fail Better. The
quintessential distillation of Beckett's philosophy on human
existence and the ultimate example of his minimalist approach to
fiction, Nohow On is a vital collection, concerned with conception
and perception, memory and imagination.
