This articles studies the English translation of Beckett's first French-language novel, in order to ascertain whether the linguistic discovery it represents was translatable into English. A close analysis of how Beckett translated his very markedly oral French reveals how Beckett uses for the first time, Hibemo-English structures and words, as if the use of a foreign language had allowed him to rediscover his mother tongue as he has never used it before.
