Information and Guide to Anglo-Irish writer Samuel Beckett created and maintained in Dublin, Ireland

More Pricks than Kicks. London: Calder & Boyars, 1966.

Beckett's early tragic-comic masterpiece is a collection of stories about Belacqua, a student in Dublin in the 1920 - his adventures, encounters and amours - that through its original style and wry commentary succeeds in turning every-day incidents into high drama and lets us see street and university life through the observance and caustic wit of the author.
