{ NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS: Endings & Beginning Again } In 1984, The Times asked Samuel Beckett for his New Year’s resolutions and hopes, he responded with a brief telegram....... ”RESOLUTIONS COLON ZERO STOP PERIOD HOPES COLON ZERO STOP BECKETT”. Referring to the last section of the note, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst (2009) writes in the Telegraph; “Much of Beckett’s career now looks like a set of painful and playful variations on the idea “stop beckett”, as he tried to come to terms with the sprawling mess of the world, while recognising that he would clutter it up even further with his descriptions of it.”
