French translation of Beckett's first radio play "All That Fall," his second piece of drama to follow "Godot." Beckett described its conception in an atmospheric letter to Nancy Cunard, "in the dead of t'other night got a nice gruesome idea full of cartwheels and dragging of feet and puffing and panting which may or may not lead to something" (No Symbols, p. 93).
