Diagram on the reverse of a letter dated 22/9/64 from Samuel Beckett to Barbara Bray. The footnote in @beckett_letters says it probably relates to The Lost Ones but I think it’s a sketch of the ‘perfect cube’: a closed space enclosing a solitary male figure in All Strange Away.

John Calder, Samuel Beckett's UK publisher, died OTD in 2018. He wrote this tribute for Beckett's 80th birthday.

[Just Joyce @johnstonglenn]

"I vow I will get over J.J. ere I die. Yessir."

- Samuel Beckett to Samuel Putnam OTD in 1932

Putnam had described Beckett as one of 3 or 4 after-Joyce Irishmen with promise.
