Beckett and Zen: A Study of Dilemma in the Novels of Samuel Beckett - Thryft

Zen Buddhism meets Beckett's existential prose.

If you've ever found yourself lost in the works of Samuel Beckett, feeling that peculiar mix of confusion and depth, this book could be your guide. It offers a fresh lens through which to view Beckett's approach to the 'absurd,' providing a spiritual and philosophical context that might just change your perspective on his novels. You might find it a meditative companion to Beckett's often challenging narratives.
