Beckett and a Pimp Named Prudent
Samuel Beckett on the pimp named Prudent who attacked him in Paris, after Beckett refused him a loan in exchange for a woman:
"There is no more popular prisoner in the [Prison de la] Sante. His mail is enormous. His poules shower gifts upon him. Next time he stabs someone they will promote him to the Legion of Honor. My presence in Paris has not been altogether fruitless."
—From a letter to Arland Ussher, April 6, 1938
