| Sumario: | Arguing that Beckett's understanding of subjectivity cannot be reduced to that of phenomenology or existential humanism, Thomas Trezise offers a major reinterpretation of Beckett in light of Freud and such post-modernists as Bataille, Blanchot, and Derrida.

Trezise shows how Beckett's work defines literature as an instance within this economy and in so doing challenges traditional. |
