Samuel Beckett and the Aesthetics of Nothingness: A Critical Meditation on the Nature and Theory of Empty Spaces, Empty Souls, and the Blank Pages of Beckett's Play, Entropolis
The 2006 discovery of a lost Samuel Beckett play, the two-act Entropolis, was cause for celebration for Beckett scholars and fans worldwide, for here was a defining work on the author’s depiction of the de-humanity prevalent in the 20th Century. Louis Kahn Nin has written the first critical examination of this powerful found work that delves into many of Beckett's pet themes: alienation, confusion, and the search for personal truth within the emty soul and the blank page, hidden meanings among the invisible text. Translated posthumously from the spirit world by Beckett protege, Raymond Federman, with a foreward by Larry McCaffery.
