This is the first book devoted Beckett's innovative work for the big- and small-screens. Herren examines each of Beckett's film and television plays in depth, emphasizing the central role that memory plays in these haunting works.
I went in a little skeptical – can they really be all that and then some, these off works by an aging master? – and came out a dyed-in-the-wool believer. Exemplary scholarship.
