Offering an exploration of Samuel Beckett's work, this book argues that Beckett's reputation rests on a misreading of his oeuvre, which misses the literary revolution he instigated. It provides a portrait of Beckett as subversive, and also presents the key to some obscure aspects of Beckett's work.
In this fascinating new exploration of Samuel Beckett's work, Pascale Casanova argues that Beckett's reputation rests on a pervasive misreading of his oeuvre, which neglects entirely the literary revolution he instigated. Reintroducing the historical into the heart of this body of work, Casanova provides an arresting portrait of Beckett as radically subversive-doing for writing what Kandinsky did for art-and in the process presents the key to some of the most profound enigmas of Beckett's writing.
