The glimpses that we have of the intensely private Beckett from his friends reveal a man, a writer, driven by his commitment to words, not just any words, but words stripped bare, edited, and reduced, as if by doing this he could remove every inconsequential modifier and reveal meaning in its simplest form, the most direct form, without embellishment, without fluff.
Wonderful article. I would love to quote from Beckett's words to Federman in an essay I'm writing. Could I use this quotation with an attribution to the author and 34thMAG?

Sure Nancy, it's from an editorial in Issue 03 by the editor Martin Chipperfield.
