Lucia and Sam
Performed in collaboration with artist Sarah Hurl for the Dublin Live Art Festival (DLAF) 2012 in the Back Loft on November 1st.
I remember reading this brief account of a luncheon between Lucia Joyce and Samuel Beckett in a biography of Samuel Beckett by Deirdre Bair. A rough mental calculation tells me it was 17 or so years ago when I read the text first. I was writing my dissertation essay called Nayman from Noland on Samuel Beckett, Patrick Kavanagh and Louis MacNeice. The somewhat unwieldy premise of the dissertation was themes of universality in their writing. I can’t remember the essay so well but I often remember distinct moments of research, this anecdote being one of those moments. I have often remembered the extract but never known quite what to do with it.
