The Complete Short Prose 1929-1989 (Beckett)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Complete Short Prose 1929-1989 is a collection which includes all of Samuel Beckett's works written in prose, with the exception of his novels, novellas, and More Pricks Than Kicks which is considered "as much a novel as a collection of stories"[1]. The book was edited by S. E. Gontarski and published by Grove Press in 1995.
