Focusing on work by Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett and J.M.
Coetzee, Literary Cynics explores the relationship between
literature and cynicism to consider what happens when authors write
themselves into their art, against the rhetoric of authority. Rose
takes as his starting point three moments of aesthetic crisis in
the careers of these literary cynics: Borges's parables of the
1950s, Beckett's plays of the 1980s, and Coetzee's pedagogic novels
of the 2000s. In their transition to 'late style', the works
reflect their writers' abiding concern with particular conceptions
of rhetoric and aesthetic form. Literary Cynics combines accounts
of these 'late' works with classic, lesser known, and archival
texts by the three writers, from Coetzee's Disgrace to Beckett's
letters, as well as detailed analysis of cynicism, both ancient and
modern, as a philosophical and political movement.
