内容简介

A radical new reading of Samuel Beckett, by the author of "The World Republic of Letters" In this fascinating new exploration of Samuel Beckett's work, Pascale Casanova argues that Beckett's reputation currently rests on a pervasive misreading of his oeuvre, which neglects entirely the literary revolution he instigated. Reintroducing the historical into the heart of this body of work, Casanova provides an arresting portrait of Beckett as radically subversive, doing for writing what Duchamp did for art, and in the process providing the key to some of the most profound enigmas of Beckett's work.
