Maylis Besserie Libri

Yell, Sam, If You Still Can by Maylis Besserie shows us Samuel Beckett at the end of his life in 1989, living in Le Tiers-Temps retirement home.

In Maylis Besserie's exciting new novel, she turns her attention from Samuel Beckett to another iconic Irish writer, W. B. Yeats. The connection between France in Ireland is once again explored in the context of art, culture and the days at the end of life.

In the final of Maylis Besserie’s Irish-French trilogy, her preoccupation with the art and lives of artists who crossed borders between France and Ireland has a fitting climax as Bacon confronts the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
