In her exploration of the quest for God in Beckett's fiction, Barge discloses a powerful substratum of thematic and narrative movements underlying the rhetoric of Beckett's texts. By studying examples of myth-making structures in representative selections of the fiction, she reveals their profundity and centrality to the whole of Beckett's visionary thought and art. Selections range from Assumption to Company , with attention focused both on the texts and on the criticism concerning them.
