In 1933, Chatto & Windus agreed to publish Samuel Beckett's More Pricks Than Kicks, a collection of ten interrelated stories, which was his first published work of fiction. At his editor's request, Beckett penned an additional story, "Echo's Bones", to serve as the final piece. However, he had already killed off the protagonist, Belacqua, and had to resurrect them from the dead. Despite Beckett's efforts, the story was turned down by his editor and excluded from the collection, as it was considered too imaginatively playful, too allusive, and too undisciplined--qualities now recognized as quintessentially Beckett. As a result, "Echo's Bones" (not to be confused with the poem and collection of poems of the same title) remained unpublished--until now, eight decades later. It begins with the antihero returned to life, sitting on the cemetery fence and smoking cigars. There, he encounters a macabre triumvirate: a prostitute; an infertile baron who requests Belacqua's assistance in securing the future of his estate; and a groundskeeper who attempts to rob Belacqua's grave. The phantasmagoric events that ensure encapsulate Beckett's burgeoning preoccupation with the tragicomedy of existence that suffuses his later writings. In the introduction and critical notes, Mark Nixon situates this little-known text in terms of its biographical context, its textual references, its Joycean influences, and he examines how it is a vital link in the evolution of Beckett's early work. Beckett confessed that he included "all I knew" in the story, harnessing an immense range of subjects, from science and philosophy to religion and literature, combining fairy tales, gothic dreams, and classical myth. The posthumous publication of Echo's Bones marks the unexpected and highly exciting return of a literary legend.Binding Type: Paperback

Works great. Wish pieces came apart.
Size: 15-Foot
My only suggestion is that the pieces are made more easily to take apart so that you can buy two and combine them for a longer ramp. But they don’t advertise that capability so i cant dock a star for it. Otherwise work great.

Nice and easy does it
Size: 15-Foot
Perfect for when you're camping with full hookups. This keeps your sewer hose off the ground and up just enough to drain while camping. It spreads easy and evenly. I like not having to put blocks, metal hooks, or something else to set the hose on. This is quick and easy. It's very durable plastic and if needed easy to rinse off. It comes with an orange piece that hooks onto it to keep it together to make it great for storing. We have a gray tank in front and gray and black in back. We use two sewer hoses when camping with full hookup. I bought two of these so one is under each sewer hose. The look of these is just "neater" versus tacky like my uneven blocks were. They are very stable once put in place whether on concrete or gravel campsite.

Perfect, Safe Hose for My Rain Barrel Setup
Style: 1/2-Inch ID, Size: 4 Feet
This Camco TastePURE 4-foot water hose has been perfect for my rain barrel setup. The length is exactly what I needed for a clean, simple connection without excess hose to deal with.
I really appreciate that it’s drinking-water safe with no lead, BPA, or phthalates. Even though I’m using it with a rain barrel, it’s reassuring to know it’s made from safe materials. The reinforced design feels sturdy and durable, not flimsy like cheaper hoses.
The 1/2” inside diameter provides solid water flow, and it’s made in the USA, which is a nice bonus. Great quality, reliable, and exactly what I was looking for. Easy 5 stars.

Wow, It’s 2026, I purchased in 2022!
Style: 5/8-Inch ID, Size: 50-Foot
I just looked up this hose again in my order history to get another. I was shocked to see that I ordered it four years ago. It held up through the most brutal northeast winter in decades, fully expected to it have burst, but no! Reliable and recommended!
