A late novel written in short, unpunctuated paragraphs. A narrator crawls through mud in the dark, dragging a sack, and tells of his journey in three parts: before meeting another figure, with him, and after. He reports it all as words heard and repeated from a voice.
The book considers dependence, cruelty and the need to be heard through an odd, spare, rhythmic prose. It is one of Beckett's most experimental works, rewarding patient readers.
