The second installment of poetry, prose, humor, commentary and
reflection. Still pushing words together for amusement. These notes
are assembled over time and represent specific moments
acknowledged, captured and collected. Eventually everything must
go.
An incomprehensible introduction to the mind of confusion and the
quest for clarity. An attempt at understanding the world as it was,
is and may be. A collection of thoughts, or lack thereof that has
been inspired by world travels and selective solitude.
Offering a striking new interpretation of Beckett's major fiction,
Chronicles of Disorder demonstrates how Beckett's career as a
writer developed in relation to the most enduring twentieth-century
beliefs about the social function of literature, language, and
narrative. Weisberg explores Beckett's emergence as a major
novelist and intertwines sharp analyses of the relations between
narrative form and social content in the key works of the Beckett
canon. He considers how and why Beckett's work has become
ahistorically -- and incorrectly -- subsumed into
poststructuralist-inspired claims about language and narrative
ideology, and he uses Beckett as a case study for tracing out the
genesis of the opposition of "autonomous" and "committed" art, and
how this opposition influenced the canonization of modernism in the
1950s and 1960s.
