Fizzles

Fizzles

Samuel Beckett used the word "fizzles" to describe eight short prose pieces written between 1973-1975.

Most fizzles are unnamed, and identified by their numbers or first few words:
* Fizzle 1 [He is barehead]
* Fizzle 2 [Horn came always]
* Fizzle 3 "Afar a Bird"
* Fizzle 4 [I gave up before birth]
* Fizzle 5 [Closed place]
* Fizzle 6 [Old earth]
* Fizzle 7 "Still"
* Fizzle 8 "For to end yet again"

Excluding "Still", Beckett wrote all the fizzles in French, and later translated them into English. All the Fizzles are included in the collection "The Complete Short Prose 1929-1989"
