A Study of Dilemma in the Novels of Samuel Beckett
Paul Foster, Author
In this vital new approach to Samuel Beckett's work, Paul Foster applies his understanding of Zen Buddhism to the 'absurdity' of Beckett, which he sees as an expression of deepest spiritual anguish. Foster uses Buddhism as a tool for understanding the dilemmas Beckett's insightful observations of the human mind reveal: the nature of consciousness and personal identity, the meaning of existence and human suffering, the truth of reality and the possibility of salvation.
"A powerful and provocative book by a longtime Zen student who is also a Beckett scholar, Becket and Zen pulls off the nearly impossible feat of honoring both of its ineffable subjects without subjecting either to the reductions of conceptualism."—Lawrence Shainberg
