    Description

    Well, thought Belacqua, it's a quick death, God help us all.

    It is not.

    'Dante and the Lobster' is the first of the linked short stories in Samuel Beckett's first book, More Pricks Than Kicks. Published in 1934, its style was recognisably indebted to that of his mentor, James Joyce, and crammed with linguistic texture and allusion that Beckett later shed. The book baffled many critics and sold so few copies that several batches were pulped.

    Decades later, this story was hailed as the Nobel Prize-winner's earliest important work.

    Samuel Beckett

    Samuel Barclay Beckett was an Irish avant-garde novelist, playwright, theatre director, and poet, who lived in France for most of his adult life. He wrote in both English and French. His work offers a bleak, tragicomic outlook on human nature, often coupled with black comedy and gallows humour.

    Beckett is widely regarded as among the most influential writers of the 20th century. Strongly influenced by James Joyce, he is considered one of the last modernists. As an inspiration to many later writers, he is also sometimes considered one of the first postmodernists. He is one of the key writers in what Martin Esslin called the Theatre of the Absurd. His work became increasingly minimalist in his later career.

    Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature for his writing, which—in new forms for the novel and drama—in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation. He was elected Saoi of Aosdána in 1984.
