Moments for Nothing: Samuel Beckett and the End Times

by Gabriele Schwab

Samuel Beckett's work has entranced generations of readers with its portrayal of the end times. Beckett's characters are preoccupied with death, and the specters of cataclysm and extinction overshadow their barren, bleak worlds. Yet somehow, they endure, experiencing surreal and often comic repetitions that seem at once to confront finitude and the infinite, up to the limits of existence.

Gabriele Schwab draws on decades of close engagement...
