When Ruby Cohn edited what she called in the subtitle “Miscellaneous Writings and a Dramatic Fragment by Samuel Beckett,” she used the dismissive title offered by Samuel Beckett himself, Disjecta. First collected and published in 1983 with Beckett’s reluctant agreement (for the sake of scholars, he noted), it is finally a handy collection of Samuel Beckett’s early and admittedly minor writings, missing only the essay on Marcel Proust to make it the “complete critical writings.” Proust was published separately in 1930 and hence not gathered in the Cohn collection, although Beckett remained as dismissive of this effort as he was of those he dismissively dubbed Disjecta. | Translation - Spanish
Al editar la colección subtitulada “Textos divergentes y un fragmento teatral de Samuel Beckett”, Ruby Cohn utilizó un título displicente ofrecido por el mismo Beckett: Disjecta. En 1983 Beckett otorgó con renuencia el permiso para la recopilación y publicación de estos escritos, subrayando que lo hacía meramente por los intereses de los académicos. Es, en definitiva, una antología práctica que recoge los textos iniciales y quizá menores de Samuel Beckett, faltando únicamente su ensayo sobre Marcel Proust para convertirlo en sus “textos críticos completos”. Proust se publicó por separado en 1930 y por lo tanto no formó parte de la colección de Cohn, aunque Beckett desdeñó por igual tanto esta obra como las que desairó como Disjecta.Al editar la colección subtitulada “Textos divergentes y un fragmento teatral de Samuel Beckett”, Ruby Cohn utilizó un título displicente ofrecido por el mismo Beckett: Disjecta.

Una Januquía presidirá un espacio lúdico en el que se repartirán las tradicionales peonzas "sebibón", se comerán los buñuelos conocidos como "sufganiot", y se escucharán canciones típicas. | Translation - Spanish
A menorah will preside over a merry celebration where we hand out traditional dreidel spinning tops, eat sufganiyot donuts, and listen to traditional songs. |
