Description
Summary:pReviw of Alain Badiou,em On Beckett/em, ed. and trans. Nina Power and Alberto Toscano, Clinamen Press, Manchester, 2003.

However, I argue that Badiou#39;s reading of Beckett opens the way for a deeper consideration of the existential issues embedded in Badiou#39;s own work and that this is most fruitfully approached by recalling the thought of Sartre./p
