Reviews

This is a quality study on a neglected aspect of a major artist's work, and it has reach beyond a group of narrow specialists in Beckett. Clearly written and cogently argued, Herren reaches far beyond the television plays as he develops their interconnectedness both to the radio plays themselves and to Beckett's one film. --S. E. Gontarski, Sarah Herndon Professor of English; Editor , Journal of Beckett Studies
