Aside from these milestones in Beckett's course through the variety of literary forms--like Joyce, he never uses an identical form twice--this anthology provides a valuable service in printing Beckett's early essay on Joyce's Work in Progress (later known as Finnegan's Wake), "Dante...Bruno.

In Richard Ellmann's collection of Joyce letters this sketch becomes fuller in direct proportion to the descent of the nervous charge from the brain to the genitals...
