Synopsis

“This study of Samuel Beckett's first novel concentrates on the puzzling peculiarities of style: the puppetry of its characters; its breaks in sequence; its mock documents (the hero’s horoscope and will); . . . and Beckett's inclusion of dates, hours and celestial data for every major incident in the narrative [showing how] its plot and characters seem to present, in primitive animist form, a modern myth of Time and its origins.”
