How It Is crawls through endless mud, recalling his life separated into three distinct periods. The title is Beckett's literal translation of the French phrase, "comment c'est" (how it is), a pun on the French verb "commencer" or 'to begin'. The text is divided into three parts: "before Pim" - the solitary narrator journeys in the mud-dark until he encounters another creature like himself thereby forming a "couple". His journey is abundant with recollections from his life above, including reminiscences of a woman and of his parents. "with Pim" - the narrator is motionless in the mud-dark until he is abandoned by Pim.
