Demented Particulars offers a detailed annotation of Samuel
Beckett's first published novel, Murphy. The book includes an
extensive Introduction, which outlines the compositional and
publishing history of the novel, the critical debate, an account of
Beckett's reading that went into the book, and a sophisticated
discussion of the 'Cartesian catastrophe' at the heart of this
comic cosmos. There is also an extensive bibliography of works
pertinent to Murphy, and a thematic Index. The main thrust of the
book concerns the page by page annotations of the novel itself,
with close reference to the range of Beckett's reading (literary,
philosophical, theological, biographical and other) that went into
the making of this encyclopedic work. The importance of the study
lies not simply in the discovery of many new facts, but equally in
the assessment of how these laid the foundations for so much of
Beckett's later work. The book pays tribute to the astounding range
of Beckett's reading in the 1930s, and in so doing documents with
precision the extent to which Beckett's later writings, and his
dramatic pieces in particular, arise out of the matrix of the
earlier works.
