What is Conversations with (and about) Beckett about?

Mel Gussow, Drama Critic Of The New York Times, First Meets Beckett In Paris In 1978. After That They Meet Virtually Once A Year For The Next Ten Years, The Last Time Being In 1989 - The Last Year Of Beckett's Life. This Book Is An Account Of Those Meetings. When They Get Together, It Is Often Just After Beckett Has Directed - Or Gussow Has Reviewed - One Of Beckett's Plays, So The Talk Is Of Actors And Directors, The Success Or Otherwise Of Various Productions, And The General State Of The Theatre, Art, Life - And Tennis. None Of These Conversations Has Been Published Before, And They Serve To Show The Reputedly Austere Author As Modest, Humorous And Open-minded But Always Precise And Frequently Revealing About His Own Work, Which He Discusses With Great Acuity. Rounding Off The Book Are Interviews With Beckett's Chief Collaborators And Interpreters: Among Them Bert Lahr, Gogo In The First American Godot; Jack Macgowran And Billie Whitelaw, Beckett's Own Favourite Actors; Directors Mike Nichols And Deborah Warner: And Edward Beckett, His Nephew And Literary Executor.--book Jacket. [edited By] Mel Gussow. Includes Index.
