{"product_id":"9781682195239","title":"Beckett's Children : A Literary Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere literary criticism meets memoir, Beckett's Children explores how absence, lineage, and loss echo across art and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeckett's Children is a lyrical blend of personal memoir, father-son dialogue, and literary investigation that probes the works of Irish writer Samuel Beckett and American poet Susan Howe in search of traces of their long-rumored status as father and daughter. Although Howe has denied the rumor, the possibility that it might be true leads Coffey to a highly original appreciation of her work and a fascinating focus on the dozens of unattended children who wander through Beckett's oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe saga of Coffey's adult son, at various moments on the run in the Indiana woods, is here tragically updated in a visceral and moving Afterword, shining a harsh light on life without parental connection in a cold America. As an adoptee himself, Coffey looks to literature for traces of his own origin story and lineage, as he mourns the loss of his son.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProvocative and beautifully expressed, Beckett's Children suggests a new approach to the textual worlds of two highly respected artists, providing a revelatory perspective on both American poetics and the vibrant world of Beckett studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004814708815,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":628.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/ja\/products\/9781682195239","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
