Recenzii
'Those who are still intimidated by Beckett's reputation should read Enoch Brater's witty, stimulating, brilliantly discursive reflections on his work. They'll end up finding both the writer and the critic far more entertaining than they dared suspect.'
'An eloquent, witty and erudite collection of essays that illuminates Beckett's drama and prose fiction from a number of complementary perspectives. Brater's precise explication of the interwoven tropes of language and mise-en-scène is combined with a fine grasp of the overarching structure of work in various genres and media to create a rich and suggestive series of reflections on Beckett's aesthetics.'
'Some students find Beckett intimidating, but Enoch Brater's essays are anything but. Ten Ways of Thinking About Samuel Beckett is both witty and approachable...There is a great deal of intelligent analysis here to enlighten anyone working on Beckett, and none of it is too abstruse.'
A series of meditations, a return to first principles and a pushing forward into new syntheses, new ways of thinking, particularly about the art of Samuel Beckett. It is, thus, both a book for beginners, since one always returns to first principles, and one for seasoned readers of Beckett, who are rewarded by those frequent references and allusions to Beckett's work that draw knowing nods from the cognoscenti...One can only hope that such musings, such "speaking correctly," such deliberations on Beckett as the current book displays, are not a valediction.
