Klappentext zu „Beckett's Late Stage “
Beckett's Late Stage reexamines the Nobel laureate's post-war prose and drama in the light of contemporary trauma theory. Through a series of sustained close-readings, the study demonstrates how the comings and goings of Beckett's prose unsettles the Western philosophical tradition; it reveals how Beckett's live theatrical productions are haunted by the rehearsal of traumatic repetition, and asks what his ghostly radio recordings might signal for twentieth-century modernity. Drawing from psychoanalytic and poststructuralist traditions, Beckett's Late Stage explores how the traumatic symptom allows us to rethink the relationship between language, meaning, and identity after 1945.

Pressezitat
"The book's strength lies [...] in its close reading of Beckett's first novels and the early French stories, as well as the radio play All That Fall and the play Footfalls. Particularly welcome is the attention to pedestrianism in Beckett, who characterized existence as "just a series of movements." "On whence / no sense / but on / to whence / no sense," one of his late "Mirlitonnades" declares, its rondo rhythm evoking a determined pedestrial circularity."- The European Legacy, 25:1
