"Zero's Neighbour" is Helene Cixous's tribute to the minimalist
genius of the artist in exile who courted nothingness in his
writing like nobody else: Samuel Beckett. In this unabashedly
personal odyssey through a sizeable range of his novels, plays and
poems, Cixous celebrates Beckett's linguistic flair and the
poignant, powerful thrust of his stylistic terseness, and
passionately declares her love for his unrivalled expression of the
meaningless 'precious little' of life, its unfathomable banality
ending in chaos and death. Poised between a critical essay and a
textual performance across two languages adapting Beckett's own
literary vein, this book will appeal to scholars, critics and
creative writers as well as students of the 'grey self-Sam'. Its
allusive intertextual insights will also prove to be of critical
relevance to readers of Dante and Proust, among other literary
figures, as much as to those appreciative of Cixous's own
inimitable genius for dissecting the quintessence of the life and
works of a 'neighbourly' artist.
