About this book
Reviews
“Not only does Daniel Koczy remain true to the radical importance of alterity and the unthought in Deleuze's philosophy, he also takes them seriously by producing a dazzling new range of concepts from the encounter of Deleuze and Beckett's work. Beckett, Deleuze and Performance is not only a tour de force of scholarship, but a courageous attempt to create and affirm the new itself.” (Stephen Zepke, Vienna, Austria)
“Koczy takes seriously the aporias at the heart of these works. Just as Deleuze contends that art leads to thought rather than telling us what to think, Koczy leads us, with careful attention and unerring erudition, into the heart of Beckett's failures.” (Professor Anthony Uhlmann, Director of the Writing and Society Research Centre, Western Sydney University, Australia)
