In that A&amp;E, as in most A&amp;Es, there is a waiting-room. Some people are more comfortable in the waiting-room than others; some are not comfortable at all. In 2023, we went to a Wellcome-Trust-run \u2018Waiting Times\u2019 conference on Euston Road, co-hosted by Dr Laura Salisbury who scholars on Beckett and health occasionally. The conference took place near Tavistock Square and Tavistock Place and Tavistock Square Gardens, nomenclaturally reminiscent of the Tavistock Centre (NW3 5BA) where Beckett received psychotherapy in the early-to-mid 1930s.<\/p>\n<p>We were invited to the conference by somebody I\u2019d been to secondary school with in the post-war New Town of Bracknell (coincidentally close to the Beckett Centre). After attending the conference, which discussed Beckett a lot, I experienced medicality-related flashbacks from that secondary-school-in-Bracknell era at what should have been a delightful park-caf\u00e9 we\u2019d found. I tried to write them down and got confusingly \u2013 for myself and my company \u2013 upset. Not long ago, GIG Cymru or NHS Wales gave me a P.T.S.D. diagnosis, a condition affecting at least 1-in-10 humans in the UK &amp; Ireland today.<\/p>\n<p>It was so nice to be able to go to the Beckett Centre and continue to work out, while investigating the (non)presence of \u2018psychogeography\u2019 in Beckett\u2019s gestalt, such persistent mind-hums. An unexpectedly busy episode prior to arriving, however, had turned them up <em>Mezzo piano<\/em> to <em>Forte<\/em>. I got to the Beckett Centre whacked and relapse-y. The Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading where I\u2019d be staying assigned me a room that felt scary and I got all upset. Reading is full of personal memories, and I was anticipating pleasant-yet-intense reunions ahead, as well as the pressure of research success. Things felt awry. Enter heart palpitations, brain-fog \/ delirium, night-sweats and night-mares, large headache. I developed a mouth ulcer.<\/p>\n<p>James Knowlson\u2019s authorised biography tells you Beckett suffered depression and acute anxiety in his late twenties \u2013 an arrhythmic heart, night-sweats, night-mares, shudders, panic, breathlessness, paralysis. Symptoms augmented in 1933 after he translated Andr\u00e9 Breton\u2019s and Louis Aragon\u2019s \u2018The Fiftieth Anniversary of Hysteria\u2019, concurrent also with the death of his Daid\u00ed. Beckett began psychotherapy in London where he\u2019d joined Thomas MacGreevy from Dublin. Between walking or reading or sipping on lime-juice, says Knowlson, Beckett saw Dr Wilfred Bion almost one-hundred-and-fifty times over a period of two years (though this felt to him only six months). Beckett lay on couches, Beckett dream-diaried, Beckett educated himself via Robert S. Woodworth\u2019s <em>Contemporary Schools of Psychology<\/em> (1932). He believed the ventures somewhat alleviated his debilitating disturbances.<\/p>\n<p>Beckett is known for being tenacious. He survived a near-fatal stabbing in 1938, recovering from a coma in H\u00f4pital Broussais. He fought in the French Resistance in the mid-1940s, before beginning his <em>frenzy-of-writing<\/em> epoch in Paris. In the late 60s, Beckett was treated at H\u00f4pital Cochin for a bad lung-abscess involving a technique of hypnotic <em>r\u00eaves \u00e9veill\u00e9s dirig\u00e9s<\/em> (guided waking dreams in which he remembered walks with his father) and forwent the pleasures of alcohol and cigarettes, confined to his flat at 38 Boulevard Raspail until he was better. Beckett never ceased writing, but this too seems bound up in sickness-talk: he wrote to a friend in 1954 \u2018I am absurdly and stupidly the creature of my books\u2019. Which are often about affliction and dying.<\/p>\n<p>To what extent did writing deleteriously effect Beckett\u2019s psyche? <em>Frenzy<\/em>. When at the Beckett Centre, I admit to Steven Matthews (the centre\u2019s director) just how many notes I\u2019ve made, way too exhaustingly Joyce-ish and not enough pared-back Beckett but am reassured (?) that Beckett made loads loads and loads of notes also. I say I\u2019m ofnadwy (poorly) and Steven says he\u2019s wedi blino (tired). Someone else and I spoke at the Beckett Centre on the potential obsessiveness occurring with writing projects, ousting valorisations of harmful \u2018creative\u2019 habits. I remember the importance of <em>NOT PROJECT<\/em>, as well as of project. Projects can give life, but also derail it? All in good measure? T\u00e1?<\/p>\n<p>I went to A&amp;E at the Royal Berkshire Hospital when the headache had reached its seventh-day and was now freaking me out. In A&amp;E, everyone chatted about how long they\u2019d been there. \u2018I\u2019ve been waiting here for ages,\u2019 said a lady. \u2018Gosh, how much longer?\u2019 said a man, looking at his wrist-watch. Once, I watched <em>Waiting for Godot<\/em> (1954) on my Fairphone 2 in the bath at the sanctum \u2018The House of Virtue\u2019 (where I lived with two angels proto-healing ravenously) and missed the ending as water gurgled loudly down the plughole, which seemed very fitting it is a story I like to repeat at parties. A&amp;E\u2019s ceilings were static trompe-l\u2019oeil sky-lights, which people rustled biscuit-packets under from the free tea cart. Eventually leaving with codeine, steroids, and conflicting dose instructions, I ripped off my QR-coded NHS wristband and gained a hot new bookmark.<\/p>\n<p>At the Beckett Centre I read someone say only great writers are unafraid of shame and thus capable of creating literature carrying within it humanity\u2019s imprint. Nervously, I consumed my new meds (plus a.t.m.-usual Sertraline) at breakfast in the Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading. I tried to visualise Beckett in spates of recuperation, seeking figmentary solidarity. Manuscripts in the Beckett Centre listed instances in <em>Waiting for Godot<\/em> when its four players ask each others\u2019 assistance below a subtitle <u>HELP<\/u>. As well as his tenacity, Beckett is known for his kindness. To cross things out, he typed \u2018x\u2019s over glyphs on type-written documents, reminding me of a while ago crossing out hand-written errors with love-hearts as acts of self-care. My G.P. recently recommended reading Montaigne (+ EMDR) as opposed to more talking therapies; I lol when witnessing Francophilic t-shirts in Reading town-centre emblazoned PARIS AVENUE MONTAIGNE 75008 PARIS and MON AMIE PARISIENNE. I bought neither of them. We had drinks by the Seine wait no the Kennett that flows beneath the Oracle Shopping Galleria.<\/p>\n<p>Unsatisfied with the NHS (where you must pay for prescriptions unlike yr GIG), I went to MyDentist and found I need not worry about suspected temporal arthritis or other mystery ailments, but take anti-biotics to solve a trauma-ulcer caused by a wisdom tooth. MyDentist is one-hour away from the Beckett Centre, a liberating stroll on Bath Road and past Prospect Park to a neglected precinct in Tilehurst. Beckett, did you know, had lots of teeth out. She told you they(\u2019d) consider(ed) you an enigma, and we talked of Point Royale.<\/p>\n<p>The next day at a new arts venue named Reading Biscuit Factory I attempted drinking a small glass of vin rouge watching <em>The Substance <\/em>(2024), which features a disgusting crustacean scene (Beckett did not like to see lobsters in fish-tanks at restaurants fyi) and the slicing of human skin. Nauseously, I got up to leave and collapsed, crawling out of Screen 3 and into the foyer where duty-of-care staff phoned 999. Did Beckett undergo immersive cin\u00e9 too? Phone-call paramedics asked if my head felt like it had been hit with a brick and whether I looked deathly pale, among other alarming questions surely designed to arouse lucidity. Meanwhile, four dolphins leapt in Paradise Aberystwyth.<\/p>\n<p>I could not bring myself to go back to A&amp;E as a courtesy 111 check-up call later advised, and I don\u2019t think Beckett would have wanted to either. Instead, I read through my notes from the Beckett Centre so-far back at the Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading, and slept relatively soundly. Another guest, I\u2019d overheard, believed \u2018The rooms are not nice\u2019 here, but personally I\u2019d grown fond of the Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading, where Beckett\u2019s books were all laid out all over my bed. Many ambulances sirened in the night outside. We are legitimately concerned about health, but health-scare can really take over! Sometimes I dreamt about Beckett doing normal things, like brushing his teeth or opening cupboards, which was bon.<\/p>\n<p>Matin, a sister sent a sympathetic WhatsApp message: \u2018It\u2019s been a week of mouths and beckett!\u2019. She attached a YouTube clip of <em>Not I <\/em>(1972), Beckett\u2019s play featuring a lit-up character MOUTH speaking on a dark stage.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it totally humane and reasonable to find it sad (difficult even, yes!) to not drink for a few days? My Dad found it worrisome. But Beckett was miserable in convalescence, and weaned himself a.s.a.p. back into his preferred lifestyle via tiny gifted Champagne bottles from painter Henri Hayden and his wife Josette. Mom and I went for a Sunday walk, and a Beckett scholar recommended me Whiteknights Lake around which to peregrinate Beckett-ishly.<\/p>\n<p>The NHS is in tatters Sky News broadcasts about it perpetually at the Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading, with guidance on how to talk about health with your loved ones. Vox-pops probe health\u2019s socio-economic determinance, as the public is asked to recall advantageous and disadvantageous experiential aspects of their postcode-locations.<\/p>\n<p>As my gums were healing, archive fever gripped. I endeavoured calming myself with the Beckett Centre\u2019s print-version archive catalogue, but only spied proliferate items to impossibly look at. I was relieved to learn Eimar McBride was overwhelmed by the archive\u2019s quantities. Going through my Addendum-specific notes I\u2019d started compiling I came upon following: \u2018Repeat repeat repeat repeat trying and trying and trying and trying, confused confused confused confused, soothe soothe soothe soothe\u2019. God. Beckett had <em>five or six <\/em>different pairs of glasses for different activities, a consoling discovery as I\u2019d been having to wear my own semi-optional pair 24\/7 while ill at the Beckett Centre, which I left still-poorly but happy, blessed with Steven\u2019s sympathies and plenty of word-loot from an idiosyncratic episode.<\/p>\n<p>I ate a banana from the shop near the Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading. Beckett used to eat bunches of bananas, according to the Beckett Centre, as we\u2019d eaten them along the prom on mornings before the day\u2019s onslaught began. Android bleeped it\u2019s constantly sunny in Aberystwyth. Beckett considered going to the Canary Islands on holiday for restorative purposes, but went to Madeira and Porto Santo alternatively.<\/p>\n<p>The train back to the Welsh Riviera split without notice at Shrewsbury I swear there was no announcement I am hyper-vigilant. Realising at the last moment, I jumped off it, dropping my empty Amoxicillin packet (a litter-bug) and waited un heure for the carriage prochain. Waiting, waiting. I got home on 25<sup>th<\/sup> September. I like a line from Beckett\u2019s short story \u2018Dante and the Lobster\u2019 from <em>More Pricks Than Kicks<\/em> (1934): \u2018It took time, but if a thing was worth doing at all it was worth doing well, that was a true saying\u2019. It had been a scramble, but back at MyDentist Aberystwyth my Dentist removed some of my wisdom tooth and everything healed pretty nicely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amy Grandvoinet <\/strong>is a PhD researcher in fraught avant-garde literary legacies (mainly pertaining to the contested signifier \u2018psychogeography\u2019) between Aberystwyth and Cardiff Universities.
