Zero"s Neighbour is Hélène Cixous"s tribute to the minimalist genius of the artist in exile who courted nothingness in his writing like nobody else: Samuel Beckett. In this unabashedly personal odyssey through a sizeable range of his novels, plays and poems, Cixous celebrates Beckettrsquo;s linguistic flair and the poignant, powerful thrust of his stylistic terseness, and passionately declares her love for his unrivalled expression of the meaningless lsquo;precious littlersquo; of life, its unfathomable banality ending in chaos and death. Poised between a critical essay and a textual performance across two languages adapting Beckett"s own literary vein, this book will appeal to scholars, critics and creative writers as well as students of the lsquo;grey self-Samrsquo;. Its allusive intertextual insights will also prove to be of critical relevance to readers of Dante and Proust, among other literary figures, as much as to those appreciative of Cixousrsquo;s own inimitable genius for dissecting the quintessence of the life and works of a lsquo;neighbourlyrsquo; artist.
