Mal Vu Mal Dit, translated as Ill Seen Ill Said, is a novel by Samuel Beckett, first published in French by Les Éditions de Minuit in 1981. The book combines Beckett's sparse and poetic style with a narrative that exists between the realms of the visible and the invisible, playing with the ineffable qualities of experience and memory.
