Beckett's Miscellanies


Samuel Beckett at the Crazy Horse Saloon



A recent issue of The Daily Jewish Forward asserts that Samuel Beckett was an habitué of the Paris’ Crazy Horse Saloon where there are nude dancers. In fact, Samuel Beckett went only twice in that cabaret. The first time, he was invited by a French homme de lettres with some other people and he quickly escaped. The second time, he was invited by the Belgian writer José-André Lacour and his behaviour sheds light on his impish nature.
