The Samuel Beckett Society is sad to learn of the death of British publisher John Calder, a strong supporter of Beckett’s writing and a close personal friend. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

The Society welcomes tributes and recollections of Calder from friends, family, fans, and well-wishers, for publication in our official newsletter, The Beckett Circle. If you would like to share your own tribute, please get in touch using the form below. Thank you.
