Arthur N. Athanason / Samuel Beckett's Endgame, The Ashbin Play (Hardback)

Product Description

Though studies on Beckett and his contributions to fiction, poetry, and drama are legion, The Ashbin Play offers a refreshing new approach to this singular work. Analyzing the play by way of Beckett's own delineation of a sixteen-section structure, Arthur N. Athanason presents an innovative, spirited explication that is at once accessible and thought-provoking, its focus squarely on Endgame as a compelling live performance rather than a philosophical or biblical "mind game." Separate chapters place the work in its historical, literary, and critical contexts; examine the play section by section in terms of Beckett's scheme; and offer probing close-ups of each of the four characters. Through his engaging writing style and expert synthesis of a wealth of Beckett scholarship, Athanason has produced a winning critical study that will inform and stimulate thinking among students, scholars, and general readers.
