An enlightening study of three writers, Flaubert, Joyce and Beckett: The Stoic Comedians begins with an explanation of the effect of the printing press on books. The "book as book" has been removed from the oral tradition by such features as prefaces, footnotes, and indexes. Books have become voiceless in some sense--they are to be read silently, not recited aloud. How this mechanical change affected the possibilities of fiction is Kenner's subject. Each of the three featured authors approached this situation in a unique, yet connected way: Flaubert as the "Comedian of the Enlightenment," categorizing man's intellectual follies; Joyce as the "Comedian of the Inventory," with his meticulously constructed lists; and Beckett as the "Comedian of the Impasse," eliminating facts and writing novels about a man alone writing.

De formación matemática y científica, Blaise Pascal abandonó sus estudios para dedicarse a la filosofía y la teología después de una experiencia mística, en 1654. El "Discurso acerca de las pasiones del amor", ubicado poco antes de ese suceso, ya mostraba su búsqueda por razonar sobre las pasiones humanas: "El amor nos da más espíritu, el espíritu lo sustenta: hay que ser ágil para amar. Diariamente se nos agotan las maneras de gustar. Sin embargo, hay que gustar y lo logramos."Los textos breves que acompañan al ensayo inicial, "Acerca de la conversión del pecador", "Oración para pedirle a Dios el buen uso de las enfermedades" y "Tres discursos acerca de la condición de los grandes", permiten observar otras vetas del pensamiento surgido de la religiosidad del autor, fallecido prematuramente a los treinta y nueve años.

Samuel Beckett's works have spawned a great variety of critical - sometimes contradictory - interpretations, most recently ones stemming from postmodern theories of literature. In keeping with this trend, this book probes the relationship between Beckett's fiction and the work of a number of contemporary French thinkers, such as Maurice Blanchot and Gilles Deleuze, which demonstrates how concepts such as «the thought of the outside» and «the simulacrum» also generate Beckett's transgressive narrative. Beckett and French Theory provides valuable new knowledge and understanding to teachers and students of both Beckett's fiction and recent French critical theory.
