Proust and Three Dialogues with Georges Duthuit. London: Calder & Boyars, 1970. Second Edition. Publisher’s orange dust jacket, some rubbing to edges and with previous owner’s name to front free endpaper, otherwise a very good copy.

Beckett’s acclaimed critical study of Proust, the first great European novelist of the century, originally published in 1931.

The dialogues with Georges Duthuit, former editor or the experimental review Transition, deal with three painters, Tal Coat, André Masson and Bram Van Vele.
