A dense interior monologue, Stirrings Still was written by Beckett in 1987 and 1988, when he had become increasingly reflective about his life. It portrays, in Beckett's spare style, a "consciousness" exploring a "self", faced with uncertainties about its own existence. Stirrings Still is a spellbinding work, full of a sense of farewell. Originally published in collaboration with John Calder in a limited edition of 226 copies numbered one to two hundred and lettered A to Z. Illustrated with eight original black and white drawings by Louis le Brocquy. Dedicated to Beckett's longtime friend and publisher Barney Rosset.

"Stirrings Still is a last testimony of Beckett's creative vitality. His unmatched power of endurance still masquerading as nothing at all." - Harvard Book Review
