And how complicated it is when you’re writing about a living author who can work behind the scenes to influence the biography?ĭB: The Beckett biography began when I was in graduate school and French literary theory ruled. All I needed to do was to learn how to write one! After reading and seeing Waiting for Godot and Krapp’s Last Tape, I became convinced that he was not, as the critics then described him, “the poet of alienation, isolation, and despair.” Even though I had never really read biography and had no idea how to go about writing one, I was convinced that we needed a new direction in Beckett scholarship, and biography was the way to go. When I read More Pricks than Kicks, Murphy, and Watt, I recognized real places and real people within some of Beckett’s devastatingly accurate portrayals. Having studied Ulysses so intensely, I turned naturally to Beckett. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Local woman missing novelThe chapters mainly alternated between four POV in this story, and it was really easy to follow the storyline as each told their story.
