Subject
Beckett, Samuel, 1906-1989. Correspondence.
Description
Beckett states he just signed a contract with Calder fora new edition of More Pricks Than Kicks, for publication the following year, though he hasn't looked at the book in 25 years. For years, Beckett refused to allow the book to be reprinted. He did sign contracts with John Calder, his British publisher, and Grove, his American publisher, but then withdrew from the Grove contract in October 1964, halfway through proofing the galleys, and only allowed a hors commerce edition from Calder. He eventually relented, with trade editions from Calder and Grove coming out in 1970 and 1972, respectively.
