Understanding Samuel Beckett presents an overview of the work of the Irish author whose most famous novels and plays?Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable, Waiting for Godot, and Endgame?are discussed in depth, alongside some less known earlier texts and later, shorter pieces.

Readers will see how Beckett's characters who wish to narrate their own deaths incorporate silence into their speech. Astro concludes with a discussion of Stirrings Still, Beckett's last text, in which he evokes his own impending demise.
