{"product_id":"abandoned-prose-nathan-odonnell","title":"Abandoned Prose, Nathan O'Donnell","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbandoned Prose is a publication with texts by Nathan O’Donnell and design by Clare\u2028Bell. It is the outcome of a Samuel Beckett Creative Fellowship at Trinity College Dublin,\u2028part of a series of fellowships organised between Trinity and the Samuel Beckett\u2028Research Centre, Reading University, that facilitate artists to respond to Beckett’s\u2028archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the Samuel Beckett Collection at Trinity College Dublin is a faded l’Aigle-\u2028brand notebook (catalogue reference: TCD MS 4662) with a small accompanying index\u2028card that categorises its contents according to the following four sections: ‘abandoned\u2028theatre \/ abandoned prose \/ Fragments of translation of Malone meurt \/ Epistolary\u2028scraps’. Having counted the number of lines per page, allowing an average word count\u2028per line, and factoring in the many scrawled deletions and blacked-out lines and\u2028sections, the section of ‘abandoned prose’ has been calculated to come to a total of 2503 words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also the total number of words reproduced in this book, the text of which is\u2028composed of extracts and fragments of prose from old projects – essays, short stories,\u2028scripts, books – that had previously been, for whatever reason, shelved. For this\u2028publication, these prose extracts have simply been added to one another until the word\u2028count was reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover\u003cbr\u003e32 pages\u003cbr\u003e145 × 210 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nathan O'Donnell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51668642693451,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/files\/IMG_0251.heic?v=1761055606","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/no\/products\/abandoned-prose-nathan-odonnell","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
