‘Every now and again, rarely, a book comes along that offers a definitive account of a particularly vexing critical question - this study is one of them. Drawing on a range of published and unpublished materials, David Tucker offers a comprehensive and sensitive examination of the role Geulincx plays in Beckett's writing and aesthetics, and in doing so makes us think differently about Beckett's work.'
