Beckett is acknowledged as one of the greatest playwrights and most
innovative fiction writers of the twentieth century with an
international appeal that bridges both general and more specialist
readers. This collection of essays by renowned Beckett scholar
Enoch Brater offers a delightfully original, playful and intriguing
series of approaches to Beckett's drama, fiction and poetry.
Beginning with a chapter entitled 'Things to Ponder While Waiting
for Godot', each essay deftly illuminates aspects of Beckett's
thinking and craft, making astute and often surprising discoveries
along the way. In a series of beguiling discussions such as 'From
Dada to Didi: Beckett and the Art of His Century', 'Beckett's
Devious Interventions, or Fun with Cube Roots' and 'The Seated
Figure on Beckett's Stage', Brater proves the perfect companion and
commentator on Beckett's work, helping readers to approach it with
fresh eyes and a renewed sense of the author's unique aesthetic.
'An eloquent, witty and erudite collection of essays that
illuminates Beckett's drama and prose fiction from a number of
complementary perspectives. Brater's precise explication of the
interwoven tropes of language and mise-en-scene is combined with a
fine grasp of the overarching structure of work ... to create a
rich and suggestive series of reflections on Beckett's aesthetics.'
- Robert Gordon, Professor of Drama, Goldsmiths, University of
London
