This a comprehensive comparison of the narrative techniques of two
of the twentieth century's most important writers of prose. Using a
combination of theoretical analysis and close readings of Proust's
A la recherche du temps perdu and Beckett's trilogy of novels,
Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable, James H. Reid compares the
two novelists' use of first-person narration in constructing and
demystifying fictions of consciousness. Reid focuses on the
narrator's search to represent the voice that speaks the novel, a
search, he argues, that structures first-person narration in the
works of both novelists. He examines in detail the significant
impact of Proust's writing on Beckett's own work as well as
Beckett's subtle reworkings of Proust's themes and strategies. This
study is an important contribution to critical literature, and
offers fresh perspectives on the crucial importance of the
Recherche and the trilogy in the context of the twentieth-century
novel.
