New York: Grove Press, Inc, 1964. First American edition of this existential novel by the author of Waiting for Godot. Octavo, original boards. Signed by Samuel Beckett on the title page.

Tape remnants to the front free endpaper and title page. Jacket design by Roy Kuhlman. Uncommon signed. Following his remarkable trilogy - Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable - which is generally counted among the most daring and important prose works of the century, Samuel Beckett here continues his fascinating exploration of the human condition. "Beckett's world, in its comedy and pathos, is a triumphantly human one" (Saturday Review).
