On Beckett

On Beckett

Alberto Toscano
3.8/5 ( ratings)
This collection of Alain Badiou s essays on Samuel Beckett is a deliberate intellectual challenge to conventional Beckett scholarship. These essays trace the development of Beckett's art--from his first works through the claustrophobic world of "The Unnameable to a final engagement with questions of "Other and Love. Badiou rejects the stereotypical view of Beckett as the dark existentialist; rather, he claims that the lesson of Beckett is one of moderation, precision, and courage.
