A Reader's Guide to Samuel Beckett (Irish Studies)

Samuel Beckett, who wrote everything in both French and English, specialised in short enigmatic texts, implying vast visionary works of which the stories are broken pieces. Kenner's guide is designed to help readers see beyond the story in Beckett to the text as a whole and to appreciate the uniqueness of each of his works. Hugh Kenner's books include "The Poetry of Ezra Pound", "Dublin's Joyce", and "Joyce's Voices".
