Samuel Beckett by Steven Connor
Steven Connor draws on the poststructuralist theories of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze to show the centrality of repetition in Beckett's work. Taking issue with those critics who have seen repetition simply as a unifying, totalizing principle in Beckett's writing, Connor explores the paradoxical forms and effects of repetition across a wide range of Beckett's texts, from the early fiction through to the most recent drama. He examines Beckett's translations of his own works to and from French and English, and his practice as a director of his own plays. In the final chapter, Steven Connor examines the way in which repetition functions within critical discourse to create and sustain the mythology that has grown up around Beckett.In his hometown of Sydney, Australia, Stephen lives with his beloved partner. When he is not writing, he pursues his dream of teaching Meditation and Mindfulness to help others discover their full potential and the truth of who they are. He is the father of two children and the grandfather of two grandchildren.
