Collected here are conversations with the author recalled by translators, scholars, artists, and theatre and media practitioners drawing on unpublished notes of meetings and uncollected (mostly) correspondence with him.  Through the varied lenses of their reminiscences, readers will appreciate Beckett’s remarkable art of letter writing, his conversation punctuated by pregnant pauses, his exceptional humor and talent for friendship, and his punctilious concern for the translations, interpretations, and performance of his works. The readers of this volume will come to share the exhilaration the encounters with Beckett produced in the writers of these memoirs.   Inépuisable Beckett… Non seulement son œuvre reste vivante et laisse son empreinte dans la littérature, le théâtre et les arts actuels, mais sa personnalité d’homme et d’artiste continue à marquer ceux qui l’ont connu personnellement. Ce sont les témoignages de plusieurs d’entre eux que nous reproduisons ici. A travers leurs diverses perspectives, le lecteur pourra apprécier cet art épistolaire propre à Beckett, celui de sa conversation ponctuée de silences lourds de sens, son humour exceptionnel ainsi que son talent pour l’amitié, autant que la rigueur pointilleuse qu’il apportait aux traductions, interprétations et mises en scène de ses œuvres. Nous espérons que les lecteurs de ce volume pourront partager l’enchantement ressenti par les auteurs de ces mémoires lors de leurs rencontres avec Beckett.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRhys Tranter has interviewed coeditor Angela Moorjani on this collection which recounts Samuel Beckett’s meetings with scholars, translators, and theatre practitioners (July 2017): https:\/\/rhystranter.com\/2017\/07\/12\/samuel-beckett-conversation\/\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors \/ Auteurs  Introduction  Angela Moorjani and Danièle de Ruyter  Academic Translators Reflecting  Happy Years: Translating Beckett with Beckett  Erika Tophoven  Reminiscences of a Late Friendship  Antonia Rodríguez-Gago  Academics Reminiscing  My Conversations with Samuel Beckett  John Fletcher  Recollecting Sam-ness and Watt-ness  Angela Moorjani  The Many-Body Problem  Kishin Moorjani  Partially Purged in Montparnasse  John Pilling  On Meeting Samuel Beckett  John O’Brien  Memories of Meeting Beckett  Linda Ben-Zvi  “For the usual, at the usual”: Meeting Beckett in the Fourteenth Arrondissement  Gerry Dukes  Rencontre avec Samuel Beckett  Ahmad Kamyabi Mask  Artists and Theatre-, Television-, Radio Practitioners Remembering  Remembering (Almost Not Meeting) Beckett  Peter Gidal  “Come back soon!”  Anne Madden le Brocquy  Quelqu’ un de tellement discret  Bernadette Le Saché  Beckett Listens: Sound Production for the 1977 Geistertrio  Konrad Körte  Bothering Him with My Questions …  Marek Kędzierski  “From one world to another”: Beckett’s Radio Plays  Everett C.
