Abstract

The complexities presented by the exercise of interpretation on Beckett's work are not due only to questions of philosophical content (i.e. The horizon of Postwar Existentialism), but to his formal approach to language reflection. Namely, words go through a progressive devastation at the core of their significance and connotative reach. This article further explores that process, and the exhaustion of the self as subject in the narrative trilogy Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable
