Recensioner i media

'An extremely well-written and cogently argued work on an area that has remained underexplored in Beckett studies.' - Shane Weller, University of Kent, UK 'The book adds substantially to Beckett's status in considerations of testimony, providing an eloquent engagement that will prove an important reference-point for future scholarship.' - Peter Fifield, St. John's College, Oxford, Modern Language Review
