In this meticulously researched book, Marco Bernini addresses the most perplexing aspects of Beckett's writing: his representation of altered states of consciousness, of voice hearing, and of varieties of introspection beyond everyday phenomenological levels of awareness. Through an intricate interweaving of narrative and cognitive theory, paired with arresting close readings, Beckett and the Cognitive Method advances a strikingly new argument that will transform our understanding of Beckett's work. * Ulrika Maude, Professor of Modern Literature, University of Bristol * The word 'landmark' is overused, but I believe it applies to this book. It reflects the author's sparkling intelligence and, at the same time, the book's deep research in philosophy, psychology, the cognitive sciences, narratology, literary criticism, and still other disciplines. Marco Bernini makes a genuine contribution that more than fulfills the promise of a genuine literary-scientific cross-pollinization in narratological and literary discourse. * Porter Abbott, Research Professor Emeritus of English, University of California, Santa Barbara *
