L'innommable Samuel Beckett 9782707318916 Books

It was a wonderful experience for me to finally read Beckett's trilogy in its original French. But while I enjoyed Molloy and Malone meurt, I found L'innomable tough and unforgiving going.

Each novel in Beckett marks a step down from conventional narrative casting recognisable characters continuities and narrative aside until with L'innomable almost everything is erased .

In L'innomable we are left with a revolving tempest of words returning tirelessly upon the same themes of alienation marginalisation imprisonment torment despair voiced by a formless confused (in every sense) narrator given to endless ostensibly paranoid ramblings. There is much repetition of the inevitability of words and an endless evocation of the promise and possibilities of silence, silence which does not arrive until the final page...

Is this estranged narrative voice from the afterlife, or for some limbo prior to birth? Or is this Beckett meditating on his own life, world, and work? The confusion of voices and characters within him...

I found it all a blessed relief when the curtain of silence fell. But felt cheated by the determination to "continuer"... Rejection I feel would be the only consistent response to what has gone before. Why this novel and the entire trilogy should on a note of affirmation defeats me...

Unquestionably there are many passages which taken in isolation possess vast lyrical beauty... And I found very many echoes of Louis-Ferdinand Celine. This Beckett novel lacks most of all the most redeeming quality of all Beckett: humour. I found Finnegans Wake with its playfulness witt humour and multiple affirmations of life language and creation much easier going despite its vast obscurities.

However since reading Beckett, observing tv and the general media and what passes for popular entertainment and normal public and political discourse I see all of it as far more alienated and alienating (dispirited and dispiriting) than anything in the Beckett Universe... I don't think even he could have gotten close to the empty horror our modern technologies and systems of communication entertainment politics and art have spawned.

L'innommable Samuel Beckett 9782707318916 Books Reviews

Thomas Beckett est un auteur né à l'Irlande, mais il écrive en français. La raison peut être trouvée dans cette même oeuvre quand le protagoniste dit qu'une langue peut, ou, en fait, détermine c'est qu'on est. Ou, en tout cas, prétende de le déterminer. Dès là, qu'il échappe ou essaye d'échapper à cette piège, en n'écrivant pas en anglais. (il y aura aussi d' innombrables autres raisons, probablement)
En plus, c'est un livre difficile. Pas seulement á cause du sujet l’existence d'un être humain, due à lui même, ou bien à cause des autres, mais aussi parce que la forme et le texte ont besoin, de la part du lecteur, d'un particulier état de conscience et aussi de connaissance.
