Worstward Ho. Samuel Beckett. Album Nohow on. Worstward Ho Lyrics. This piece of prose (it’d be stretching the term to call it a short story) was written in 1983 and collected in Nohow On, which takes its name from a quotation in Worstward Ho. It typifies Beckett’s later work: pared down to the extreme, almost to a semantic dead end, but woven together so that a faint pattern of hope emerges from the nothingness. The piece contains the famous Fail Better quote, as seen, for instance, in Stanislas Wawrinka’s tattoo: "Worstward Ho" Track Info.

This volume, Beckett Short No. 4, contains only Worstward Ho - a prose piece implying that humanity exists turned Worstward. But not worstward alone - worstward aged hand in child hand, bowed and plodding. This is one of the more poetic of the prose works in terms of images, using his familiar re-emerging of images slightly modified to emphasize his points. One is tempted to summarize this work with the first law of Buddhist - all is suffering.
This is a very enjoyable and relatively accessible piece by Beckett that is well worth your attention.

To most of those who DO know, Beckett's genius has manifested itself in the double act of of Vladimir and Estragon; a kind of existentialist slapstick if you will. However, the purest beauty of this Irishman's vision lies in his prose. It is here, and only here, that it resolves into a state approaching the calm and the silence, toward which each and every one of silently yearns. At first glance, Beckett's prose may seem minimalist in the extreme but, for those of us who penetrate beyond the mere black-on-white of print on page, there lies a remarkable fecundity of imagery and ideas; the starkness of Beckett's literary style forms a deliberately shallow veneer to his own universe. In "Worstward Ho",the reader is confronted with a kind of Cartesian duality: we listen to a mind lamenting the fact that the body it inhabits,in conspiracy with a world outside, inhabited purely by "shades", combine to separate it from God. A God who created these obstacles inthe first place; The Creation was meant to DENY Life. However, as with all Beckett's works, life erupts triumphant, if slightly bowed, at the end. As I said earlier, Beckett isn't meant to be easy on the eye or the brain, but that's what makes him so wonderful: we stretch-and thus exercise- ourselves.
