- This 176-page monograph is the result of 8 years of research. It provides the first in-depth comparative reading of the works of the long-neglected Italian late modernist C. E. Gadda (1893-1973) and Samuel Beckett (1906-89). The volume shows how the authors anticipate key developments of postmodernist thought, contributing to comparative literary studies, gender studies and the interdisciplinary study of psychoanalysis and literature. It engages extensively with a range of texts from the 1930s until the 1960s, some of which remain unpublished. Research necessitated access to primary materials at the Biblioteca Trivulziana (Milan) and the Beckett Archive (Reading).
