Since the mid-1950s, when the works of Samuel Beckett began to
attract sustained critical attention, commentators have tended
either to dismiss his oeuvre as nihilist or defend it as
anti-nihilist. On the one side are figures such as Georg Lukacs; on
the other, some of the most influential philosophers and literary
theorists of the post-war era, from Theodor Adorno to Alain Badiou.
Taking as his point of departure Nietzsche's description of
nihilism as the 'uncanniest of all guests', Weller calls this
critical tradition into question, arguing that the relationship
between Beckett's texts and nihilism is one that will always be
missed by those who are simply for or against Beckett. (Legenda
2005)
