BECKETT, Tom. Unprotected Texts. St. Helena & San Francisco: Meritage Press, 2006. First Edition. 190x190mm. Trade Paperback. Almost Fine. 180pp. Fine but for very fine scuffing to the spine edge along the front cover. From the editor of The Difficulties (1980-1990), this work floods the tones of speech wrenched from the bent notes of a life lived looking for a connection to "the conversation" that takes place among musics of meaning.
