"This volume of the BDMP analyses the genesis of Fin de partie / Endgame. Described
by Samuel Beckett as more 'inhuman' than Waiting for Godot and as possessing an ability
to 'claw', it was his favourite among all his plays and yet also a work the genesis
of which was particularly arduous. It took Beckett many years to complete the French
version, and about the translation process he complained in 1957: 'what a losing battle
it is always'. This book explores that genesis through an analysis of all the surviving
manuscripts and typescripts, retracing Beckett's difficulty to begin, to continue
and, eventually, to end the play. It also brings to light some hidden treasures, such
as the dramatic fragment 'Louis & Blanc' and the Lord Chamberlain's copy of the English
translation, in which the censor's pen excises a number of key passages, including
the celebrated reference to God: 'The bastard! He doesn't exist!"--Back cover
