Samuel Beckett: writing (at) the end

Main Article Content

Sergio Rojas

Abstract

The end is a motif that crosses practically all of Samuel Beckett’s work. In this article I propose, with particular attention to his novel How It Is, that the exhaustion of meaning in Beckett’s writing does not properly constitute a thesis or a position about the “human condition” (does not serve as an illustration of existentialist philosophical perspectives), but is an exploration on the limits of language, paradoxically inexhaustible.
