About this book
Reviews
“The book would inspire a fundamental reappraisal of the works of Beckett, challenging the prevailing view that situated Beckett within the series of well-known existential thinkers -Sartre, Camus, Ionesco -who dominated mid-twentieth-century French philosophy. … In short, we have that rare and admirable thing in an academic text: an open invitation to create new combinations of thought.” (Tony Fisher, Theatre Research International, Vol. 41 (2), 2016)
“Deleuze and Beckett offers a valuable summary of existing scholarship in this area and brings many of its leading voices together to create a series of compelling dialogues between Deleuze and Beckett … . the collection addresses a wide range of works in both their oeuvres, as well as the authors’ readings of other artists and philosophers (such as Bergson), and opens up insights into the philosophical frameworks posited by Deleuze and the radically innovative aesthetics of Beckett’s work.” (Anna McMullan, Modern Drama, Vol. 59 (2), 2016)
'The respective projects of Gilles Deleuze and Samuel Beckett may seem very divergent. Yet their conjunction produces some extraordinarily rich avenues of enquiry. This exhilarating collection of essays offers rewarding discussions of encounters between philosophical and performative, between the open-ended spaces of creativity and the closed spirals of memory and decline. It is highly recommended to anyone interested in Deleuze and Beckett, and in the intersections between philosophy and literature.' - Mary Bryden, University of Reading, UKEditors and Affiliations
