LETTERS FROM CHARLES PRENTICE

AT CHATTO & WINDUS

TO SAMUEL BECKETT

Charles Prentice to Samuel Beckett, 25 SEPTEMBER 1933

[UoR MS 2444/Letter Book 150/134–5]

Dear Sam,

Chatto’s would be delighted to publish the stories, and we would like to make you the following offer. Short stories are chancey things, on which the library and the bookseller turn a poached-egg eye. So it is a little difficult to suggest an advance, especially as ‘Proust’ has earned only two-thirds of his, but I hope that £25 will seem to you fair. [. . .]

The book is just long enough to sell at 7/6d., and we’d publish early next year. [. . .]

Can you think of a livelier title? I don’t suppose many people know what ‘Draff’ is, but if they look it up, they will be put off.

[. . .]

Hurray too if you manage that extra story. [. . .]

Yours ever,

Charles
