What is Undoing time : the life and work of Samuel Beckett about?

Since His Death In 1989, It Has Become Difficult To Imagine That Samuel Beckett Was Once A Virtually Unknown Writer. Born In 1906 Into A Respectable Middle-class Family In A Dublin Suburb, He Came Late To Fame In The Early 1950s With The Ground-breaking Play, Waiting For Godot. Since Godot, Beckett's Writings Have Been Translated, Published, And Staged Throughout The World. This Highly Accessible And Original Account Offers A New Opportunity To Engage With A Towering Figure Of Irish And World Literature. The Book Offers A Systematic Overview Of Samuel Beckett's Best-known And Most Popular Work - In Poetry, Drama, Prose, Radio, And Television - Along With His More Difficult Pieces. Original Close Readings Explore His Transformative Work On Language And Form. For Beckett, Life Was A Matter Of Doing Time, While Writing Was A Way Of Undoing It. In The Process, Writers, Audiences, And Readers Enter Into A Different Understanding Of How It Is To Be Human. *** Librarians: Ebook Available On Proquest And Ebsco [subject: Literary Criticism, Irish Studies]
