Typescript of Cette fois, Samuel Beckett's translation of That Time into French; undated. With manuscript additions and corrections by the author. 9
leaves. 30 x 21 cm. This typescript is corrected in several separate stages, using
black ink, pencil, red and green ball-pens and type. All categories of manuscript
revision are found in the text and margins [...]. Most of the thirty-six sections
are crossed through in a single stroke of artist's pencil. Beckett retains the separate
sections A, B, and C, and employs a dual system of numbering: each section is numbered
in type 1-12 and also, in ink, according to its position in the sequence. Some handwritten
staging directions. Pagination is in type and black felt-tip.
