Description: Offering an exploration of Samuel Beckett's work, this title argues that Beckett's reputation rests on a misreading of his oeuvre, which misses the literary revolution he instigated. It provides a portrait of Beckett as subversive, and also presents the key to some obscure aspects of Beckett's work.
