Beckett and Buddhism undertakes a twenty-first-century reassessment
of the Buddhist resonances in Samuel Beckett's writing. These
reverberations, as Angela Moorjani demonstrates, originated in his
early reading of Schopenhauer. Drawing on letters and archives
along with recent studies of Buddhist thought and Schopenhauer's
knowledge of it, the book charts the Buddhist concepts circling
through Beckett's visions of the 'human predicament' in a blend of
tears and laughter. Moorjani offers an in-depth elucidation of
texts that are shown to intersect with the negative and paradoxical
path of the Buddha, which she sets in dialogue with Western
thinking. She brings further perspectives from cognitive philosophy
and science to bear on creative emptiness, the illusory 'I', and
Beckett's probing of the writing process. Readers will benefit from
this far-reaching study of one of the most acclaimed writers of the
twentieth century who explored uncharted topologies in his fiction,
theatre, and poetry.
