From \u003ci\u003eDream of Fair to Middling Women\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eHow It Is\u003c\/i\u003e, the book traces the modes of disjunction Beckett employed in his effort to “eff the ineffable”. From the comic incongruities of \u003ci\u003eWatt\u003c\/i\u003e to the ontological gaps of \u003ci\u003eThe Unnammable, Zone of Evaporation\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the crucial and consistent role disjunction played in Beckett’s novels. The book describes Beckett’s divergence from Proustian metaphor and the revelation of the “real” towards an art which exploited the gaps and fissures within language and narrative and, ultimately, to an art which would go on to upset the post-structuralism of Jacques Derrida. \u003cbr\u003eFor those coming fresh to the works, \u003ci\u003eZone of Evaporation\u003c\/i\u003e, written with an eye on the comic instincts of Beckett, provides almost a disjunctive guide to Beckett’s early and mid-period novels. To the seasoned Beckett reader, \u003ci\u003eZone of Evaporation\u003c\/i\u003e offers an engaging, and challenging, new perspective on Beckett’s aesthetic practice.","brand":"Paul Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310325936379,"sku":"9789042020771","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789042020771.jpg?v=1772491617","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/zone-of-evaporation-9789042020771","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
