By comparing the narrational processes \u003ci\u003eof Molloy, Malone meurt\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eL’Innommable\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul B. Kelley demonstrates that the negativity informing the trilogy has its underpinnings in Beckett’s \u003ci\u003eProust\u003c\/i\u003e. Culminating in the narrative aporetics of \u003ci\u003eL’Innommable\u003c\/i\u003e, this negativity is subsequently overcome in experimental fashion in post-trilogy works such as \u003ci\u003eTextes pour rien, Comment c’est\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCompagnie\u003c\/i\u003e. The result is a poetics of exhaustion whose pivotal significance for the Beckettian subject is explored.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021187268848,"sku":"9780820457918","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780820457918_p0.jpg?v=1763749588","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780820457918","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
