‎How It Is.‎

‎1964. London: John Calder. 1964. 8vo. Original full fawn morocco lettered and lined in gilt to spine printed on handmade paper top edge gilt others untrimmed publisher's fawn paper slipcase; pp. 160; spine a touch faded pages predominantly uncut slipcase with a few surface marks and marginal fading; a crisp very near fine copy.One of 100 numbered copies signed by Samuel Beckett hors commerce bound in full morocco and printed on handmade paper Series B; this is copy no. 8.How It Is translated by the author was issued three years after the original French Comment C'est. In three parts a precis of which appears in the opening words - ""how it was I quote before Pim with Pim after Pim how it is three parts I say it as I hear it"" - the work unfolds in a series of short unpunctuated ""paragraphs"" they are not paragraphs any more than the work is what we think of as a novel. The unnamed narrator lying in dark and mud relates what he hears or remembers from a different voice: the story obliquely of a life his life and predicament before during and after the pivotal encounter with Pim though we can't be sure about any of this.Beckett began writing How It Is in December 1958 while staying at his country retreat a small house near the village of Ussy-sur-Marne sixty kilometres away from Paris. Edouard Magessa O'Reilly the work's most recent editor notes that early drafts include references to the details of the author's daily life to the moles for example tearing up his plant beds and mentioned in letters from this time. Such quotidian detail however was strategically excised from the finished text. Abstract and enigmatic the work is nevertheless unflinching in its account of violence and cruelty; the unpunctuated yet measured prose rendering its graphic descriptions of mutilation even more disturbing. Certainly the bleakest and among the most ""difficult"" of Beckett's works it is one of the great prose works of the last century.In addition to the morocco edition of 100 copies B1-100 100 copies were issued in vellum signed and numbered A1-100. The UK trade edition was published by John Calder on April 30th 1964 in an edition of 4000 copies.

‎BECKETT, Samuel‎

‎How It Is.‎

‎London: John Calder 1964. From the unthinkable first to the no less unthinkable last First UK edition signed limited issue number 75 of 200 copies printed on handmade paper and signed by the author; this is one of 100 "Series B" copies bound in full morocco. There were also 100 copies of "Series A" bound in full vellum. Written without punctuation of any form this is widely considered Beckett's darkest and most difficult novel in which the solitary narrator worms their way through mud dwelling in recollections and reminiscences briefly forming a couple "with Pim" and finally returning to solitude this time motionless. Despite the limitation stating that the signed issues were printed in advance of the trade issue they were according to Federman & Fletcher issued shortly after. The work was first published in French as Comment c'est in 1961; Beckett's English translation first appeared in the US in early 1964. Octavo. Original brown morocco spine lettered and ruled in gilt top edge gilt others untrimmed several leaves unopened. With the original glassine and brown card slipcase. Binding a little rubbed and marked contents fresh; closed tear to glassine front panel: a very good copy. Federman & Fletcher 384.101. hardcover‎

Extremely clean interior signed by author on half-title.<br /> <br /> Published first in French in 1981 and translated by the author in the following year Ill Seen Ill Said is a novella capturing the last moments of a dying woman. Beckett combined third person narration with a steam-of-consciousness style to create this poetic mediation on mortality.

Lord John Press was committed to producing exquisite editions and this copy is a perfect example of that mission. Fine. Lord John Press unknown‎
