Why Did Samuel Beckett Abandon His Mother Tongue (Only To Translate His Work Back Into It)?

Because he needed to. “It is becoming more and more difficult, even senseless, for me to write an official English. And more and more my own language appears to me like a veil that must be torn apart in order to get at the things (or the Nothing-ness) behind it.”
