This is a new account of the prose fiction of Samuel Beckett from
Murphy (1938) to Worstward Ho (1983). Drawing on contemporary
literary theory, the book rejects the idea that Beckett is an
author committed to expressing a particular view of the world.
Instead, Beckett's fiction writing is examined in terms of its
struggle with the perplexities and uncertainties of difference and
identity. Beckett's literary bilingualism, his experiments with
literary form, his treatment of sexuality and the body are seen as
part of an exploration of the process by which the differences and
distinctions which sustain the meaning of words are liable at any
moment to collapse into indifference and indeterminacy. Dealing
with questions of modernism, translation, fiction, genealogy,
names, experimentation and fragmentation in relation to Beckett's
writing, Beckett's Fiction: In Different Words undertakes a major
reassessment of the aims and methods of Beckett's novels and prose
fiction.
