Beckett and His Biographer: an Interview with James Knowlson José Francisco Fernández (Almería, Spain)
The European English Messenger, 15.2 (2006) Beckett and His Biographer: An Interview with James Knowlson José Francisco Fernández (Almería, Spain) James Knowlson is Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Reading. He is also the founder of the International Beckett Foundation (previously the Beckett Archive) at Reading, and he has written extensively on the great Irish author. He began his monumental biography, Damned to Fame:The Life of Samuel Beckett (London: Bloomsbury, 1996) when Beckett was still alive, and he relied on the Nobel Prize winner’s active cooperation in the last months of his life. His book is widely acknowledged as the most accurate source of information on Beckett’s life, and can only be compared to Richard Ellmann’s magnificent biography of James Joyce. James Knowlson was interviewed in Tallahassee (Florida) on 11 February 2006, during the International Symposium “Beckett at 100: New Perspectives” held in that city under the sponsorship of Florida State University. I should like to express my gratitude to Professor Knowlson for giving me some of his time when he was most in demand to give interviews in the year of Beckett’s centennial celebrations. José Francisco Fernández JFF: Yours was the only biography on or even a reply to the earlier biography of authorised by Beckett. That must have been Deirdre Bair. It needs to stand on its own two a great responsibility. Did it represent at any feet. And I read with great fascination the time a burden? Knowing that what you wrote biography of Deirdre Bair and have never said would be taken as ‘the truth’.

My Summer with Poets – Including Robert Graves Frank Kersnowski
My Summer With Poets – including Robert Graves Frank Kersnowski ‘Come in’, said Robert Graves. ‘Anyone who has anything to say is always welcome in my house’. Holy mother of god(s), I thought as I stepped into his study, ‘What do I have to say to Robert Graves’? But I’ve gotten ahead of myself. I actually began my homage when I first read his Collected Poems. My homage occurred most recently when I was reading contemporary Irish poetry at The Library of Congress with funding from a summer grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1968. I had chosen about thirty poets, mostly living, to be included in my critical study The Outsiders: Poets of Contemporary Ireland. My selection was based on their repeated inclusion in collections. The surprise came when I found that few of them were subjects of critical reviews. To quote from an old song: ‘Lawdy, lawdy, Miss Claudy, what do I do now?’ I read throughout the summer and began to find clusters of poets who had something in common, locale place of publication. And I enjoyed the quiet of the great library, lunches in the cafeteria of The Rayburn Building. Though the cafeteria is intended for members of Congress, citizens, or even visitors from this side of the Atlantic, are entitled to be there – or were. Security being what it is now, accommodation may have changed. I could easily walk from my rooming house on East Capitol to the Library, local restaurants, and even a cinema. I saw Bergman’s Hour of the Wolf there in early August, an event I’ll treat later.

In 1967, Patrick Kavanagh Concluded His Bloomsday Speech by Recalling
TRANSGRESSIVE AND SUBVERSIVE: FLANN O’BRIEN’S TALES OF THE IN-BETWEEN FLORE COULOUMA In 1967, Patrick Kavanagh concluded his Bloomsday speech by recalling the 1954 anniversary, when he made a pilgrimage through Dublin with John Ryan, Brian O’Nolan, Anthony Cronin and a few others. The memorable event of that day, he said, was “the incomparable Myles pissing on Sandymount Strand”.1 This seemingly trivial anecdote presents Flann O’Brien, or rather, Myles na gCopaleen, as a transgressive character, symbolically desecrating the very monument to the cult of Joyce to which he himself had contributed. It also reveals the ambiguity inherent to the very act of transgression, in that it presupposes the normative frame it then proceeds to disregard. There is no doing away with the rules of transgression, and Myles na gCopaleen, however vocal he might have been in criticizing Joyce – “that refurbisher of skivvies’ stories”2 – never denied his admiration for the master. It was Myles na gCopaleen’s job to disrupt and mock received opinions in his satirical column from The Irish Times. The very name of Cruiskeen Lawn (“little brimming jug”) suggests the role and function of its nonsensical satire: it works by excess to emphasize the vacuity of its many targets. Such exuberance reflects a dominant mode of discourse that is defined by its polyphonic and intertextual dimension, sometimes akin to literary collage, and whose self- conscious quality always reminds the reader of the artificiality and arbitrariness of language. The constant polarity between exuberance and void in Flann O’Brien’s work echoes the deconstructive tensions of post-modern writing balancing proliferation of references on the 1 John Ryan, Remembering How We Stood, Dublin: Gill and Macmillan, 1975, 121.
