The Complete Short Prose 1929–1989

First edition

The Complete Short Prose 1929–1989 is a collection which includes all of Samuel Beckett's works written in prose, with the exception of his novels, novellas from Nohow On, and More Pricks Than Kicks which is considered "as much a novel as a collection of stories".[1] The book was edited by S. E. Gontarski and published by Grove Press in 1995.
