四故事
《四故事》收录了贝克特创作于1946年的四个用法文写成的短篇小说：《被驱逐的人》《镇静剂》《结局》和《初恋》。贝克特原计划于1947年春将其结集出版；之后，出版计划因故取消。《被驱逐的人》《镇静剂》《结局》与《无所谓的文本》一起，以《故事和无所谓的文本》为题，于1955年由巴黎午夜出版社出版；《初恋》直到1970年才由午夜出版社以单行本形式出版。直到1977年，伦敦考尔德出版社才将这四个短篇的英文版合为一集出版。
《四故事》是贝克特最早的法文短篇小说，跟后期作品的非情节化特点不同，仍然带有强烈的现实主义痕迹，是联结他早期的英文小说和法文“长篇小说三部曲”的重要一环。

四个呓语一样的故事，都离不开被抛弃和被放逐（或者是自我抛弃和自我放逐？）的意象。“我不再知道我死于何时。我过去一直觉得我是老死的，快九十岁时，多大的岁数呀，有我的身体作证，从头到脚。但今晚，独自躺在冰冷的床上，我感到我将会比白天、黑夜还要老，那时天空全部的光线降临在我身上，还是我老看的那个天空，自打我在遥远的土地上漂泊。今晚由于过于害怕，我不敢听着自己溃烂，不敢等着心脏红通通的大崩溃……”
