This novel by Maylis Besserie, the first of her Irish trilogy, shows us Samuel Beckett at the end of his life in 1989, living in Le Tiers-Temps retirement home. It is as if Beckett has come to live in one of his own stage productions, peopled with strange, unhinged individuals, waiting for the end of days. Days of Old is filled with voices. From diary notes to clinical reports to daily menus, cool medical voices provide a counterpoint to Beckett himself, who reflects on his increasingly fragile existence. He remains playful, rueful, and aware of the dramatic irony that has brought him to live in the room next door to Winnie, surrounded by grotesques like Hamm or Lucky, abandoned by his wife Suzanne who died before him.

Although there were rarely moments when I thought I was reading Beckett himself, Besserie makes a good stab at capturing what might have gone on in his mind, with the occasional absurdism. The theme of waiting runs throughout in various ways. As would be expected with an older person there is memory, especially about Joyce, and about May, Becketts mother.
Reading this definitely made me want to revisit his work on the page. I have seen much both on stage and screen. ( )
