Rabate demonstrates an encyclopedic grasp of scholarship in the field, while bringing a personal touch through related anecdotes and an accessible style...It is as fresh, meaty and loaded with ethical predicament as one of Beckett's carefully folded ham sandwiches.---Rhys Tranter, Times Literary Supplement Very few critics have all the qualities and competencies required to engage fully with the entirety Beckett's work in all genres: a detailed familiarity with Beckett's texts in both English and French; a sensitivity to his linguistic, stylistic and thematic manoeuvres; an encyclopaedic knowledge of his intellectual context; an awareness of the range and detail of Beckett studies; and an ability to write with refinement and wit. It is clear from this remarkable book that Jean-Michel Rabate is one of those few. -- Derek Attridge, University of York Think, Pig! In Beckett's Waiting for Godot, Pozzo fires this command at Lucky, his tethered slave, who responds with an outburst of logorrhea that reduces Western philosophy to gobbledygook. Pozzo's command raises many of the questions that Jean-Michel Rabate investigates in this learned and inventive study of Beckett among the philosophers. * Modern Philology * Think, Pig!
