More Pricks Than Kicks

"One could say that [Beckett's] first sentence as a fictionist is the first sentence of this book, and no writer ever started his career with a more beautiful ripple of words, of one more resonant with the flow of his sensibility....This first book is very much a first book, but it's what you want a first book to be--full of a genius's jive, arrogance and pedantry, leaping for the moon and insisting that the ensuing pratfalls are part of the virtuosity....Beckett, Samuel is the author of 'More Pricks Than Kicks' with ISBN 9780802151377 and ISBN 080215137X.
