Description: "Jia Lat Lah is an antiplay, written up through a series of poems, jokes and test questions. The antiplay defies typical conventions expected of a dramatic production. Within the table of contents, the book's poem titles are strung up as a litany of quatrains, an ode to the one-act play structure of Beckett's Endgame. The illusion of the transparent lyric becomes apparent through the aporia, the Derridean understanding of eternal linguistic flux and indecision. This collection commemorates the 60th anniversary of the writing and first staging of Beckett's Endgame, or Fin de partie in French."--Notes.
