| Publisher Description: In this book, creative writers and critical theorists consider the work of Samuel Beckett from theoretical, postmodern, aesthetic, poetic, and feminist perspectives. Collectively, they search for the hidden political and ethical dimensions of Beckett, an author who might otherwise be considered indifferent to such considerations. Their combined inquiry offers an ethical and political inquest into the entire enterprise of radical experimentalism in twentieth-century literature and culture. |
