Exploring Samuel Beckett's choice to write in French, this book delves into the interplay of form and genre in his work, highlighting a paradoxical ethics of failure and humility that challenges modernism. It examines the insights of thinkers like Bataille, Adorno, and Badiou, emphasizing Beckett's refusal to pander to audiences while providing a reason to endure amidst despair. His innovative approach, marked by an anti-humanist vision and the theme of the animal, underscores his brilliance and relevance, particularly in his declaration of inhuman rights.
