"A man speaking English beautifully chooses to speak in French, which he speaks with greater difficulty, so that he is obliged to choose his words carefully, forced to give up fluency and to find the hard words that come with difficulty, and then after all that finding he puts it all back into English, a new English containing all the difficulty of the French, of the coining of thought in a second language, a new English with the power to change English forever. This is Samuel Beckett. This is his great work. It is the thing that speaks. Surrender."Beckett, Samuel is the author of 'Samuel Beckett The Grove Centenary Edition Novels', published 2006 under ISBN 9780802118189 and ISBN 0802118186.
