Hardcover. Leland de la Durantaye helps us understand Beckett s strangeness and notorious difficulty by arguing that Beckett s lifelong campaign was to mismake on purpose not to denigrate himself, or his audience, or reconnect with the child or savage within, but because he believed that such mismaking is in the interest of art and will shape its future."
