Rezensionen

"Samuel Beckett-the 'moody man of letters'-can be found in the most unexpected places, from the Muppets to Game of Thrones. The essays in this superb volume patiently explore new tributaries of Beckett's reception and examine his status as a pop, 'mod' icon. In so doing, they reveal new perspectives for understanding both Beckett's works and his legacies, showing both how he engages with popular culture as well as how popular culture engages with Beckett."-Dr Sam Slote, Trinity College Dublin
