  • Brilliant.

    Maybe the most famous extract from Watt; had never heard Jack Emery's reading of it - nice to be able to compare it to Jack McGowran's version. Where and when is this recording from? Did he record any more from this novel? Is it available commercially? What other readings has he done? Answers on a postcard please!

  • He akso did recordings of bits from From an Abandoned Work,Malone Dies, Endgame and the Unnameable. I may put them on in due course!

  • Please do, Terence !!!!

  • Unfortunately, at present I am unable to upload to YouTube. The connection always fails about halfway through. I keep trying!

  • Nice take there at the end on Nietzsche's Eternal Return.

  • My favorite Beckett novel. Thanks! And speaking of unspeakable repetition, after I first read Watt I decided to read it again. And so I did. Upon completion I decided I'd have another go. And somewhere around the time that all that neck craining takes place, in some cases to see nothing more than the back of someone's head, my mind refused to go on. I could no longer continue, not even Bando would cure this had I any, which is so unBeckettlike I had to laugh at the irony.

  • thanks for the memory

  • He touched something important...

  • "The idiot thinks he is Richard the Turd. he may as well be he talks a load of Sh%$."

  • Oh, fuck you see you in heaven or hell

    who really cares

    GOOD_BYE
