Synopsis
These collected letters trace the relationship of director Alan Schneider with one of the 20th century's greatest epistolary writers, Samuel Beckett. Schneider directed the American premieres of Beckett's greatest plays, in addition to the playwright's only film script, "Film". The two exchanged letters for almost 30 years until Schneider was struck down by a motorcycle outside London's Hampstead Theater, walking home from mailing his last letter to Beckett.

Industry Reviews
"What is unique about this correspondence is the fact that, thanks to Schneider's carbon copies, both sides survive almost intact, a witness to thirty years of intense and fertile exchange."
Times Literary Supplement - Dan Gunn (01/15/1999)
"Ambivalent (to put it mildly) though he was about America, Beckett maintains the highest regard for one American, Schneider."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Matt Wolf (01/17/1999)
"NO AUTHOR BETTER SERVED not only chronicles the almost symbiotic relationship between a great writer and a faithful disciple but adds valuable epistolary material to the Beckett canon."
New York Times - Robert Brustein (01/31/1999)
