Beckett's Miscellanies


In The Unnamable, Samuel Beckett replied to Peggy Guggenheim’s Out of this century



In The Unnamable, Beckett devoted a few pages to a satirical description of his affair with Peggy Guggenheim. In her own book of memoirs, Out of this century, Guggenheim wrote she had been beset by passion for the Irish writer. On the other hand, Beckett thought she was more interested in using his expertise in paintings than in himself.
