Deleuze and Beckett is a collection of essays on specific aspects of the Deleuze and Beckett interface. Some of the world''s leading Beckett and Deleuze specialists apply different concepts of Deleuzian philosophy to a wide range of Beckett''s oeuvre, including his novels, short stories, and stage, film and television work.

''The respective projects of Gilles Deleuze and Samuel Beckett may seem very divergent. Yet their conjunction produces some extraordinarily rich avenues of enquiry. This exhilarating collection of essays offers rewarding discussions of encounters between philosophical and performative, between the open-ended spaces of creativity and the closed spirals of memory and decline. It is highly recommended to anyone interested in Deleuze and Beckett, and in the intersections between philosophy and literature.'' - Mary Bryden, University of Reading, UK
