...in many ways this Beckett project is an enactment of the stretching fabric..... the membrane that gives and gives and gives and sustains all that it is given to bear.... and does not break... indeed, develops more capacity to stretch... and as writers we are part of this stretchiness...
I had the strangest dream about fabric last night... I woke up twisted tightly in the sheets, feeling as though I couldn't breathe... I wished I could have fallen off the bed and been released...
Welcome to the sandbox. This site is part of a collaborative adaptation of Samuel Beckett's The Unnamable. I guess the only constraint on posts is that the titles have to refer back to the Beckett text. You can find our working copy of the text on the site Exteriority. You can send email submissions to

If you'd like to be a team member of this blog let me know. That way you could post without the middleman.

Hopper,
I'm always so amazed at how you play visually with words, and how you manipulate their feel. You're intuitive at it...

can be a warning...
both literally:
do you still smoke?
:(
and figuratively:
when you'd like to hunt simorgh, never use a net... you yourself will be in it...
:D
