title: Shorter Plays, Volume 4: The Theatrical Notebooks of Samuel Beckett
author:  Samuel Beckett 
description: "<i>The Theatrical Notebooks</i> . . . are invaluable maps of Beckett country."  -- <i>Mel Gussow, <i>The New York Times</i></i><br /><br />"A gold mine for Beckett fans who wish to dig for anecdotes, incidents, illusions, and analogies that appear throughout almost everything else he wrote. . . . Grove is to be commended for the care lavished on the design of these volumes, for they are physically as handsome as their content is comprehensive." -- <i>Deirdre Blair, <i>Newsday</i></i>
