Book Synopsis Beckett in Popular Culture by : P.J. Murphy

Download or read book Beckett in Popular Culture written by P.J. Murphy and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Bono, Seinfeld and Apple have in common? Nothing. However, it's the nothing of Samuel Beckett, which is something. Bold and provocative, Beckett's works and even his image are a potent force in modern society. Shoes, marketing, baby names--all fall under his spell. This collection of new essays (one exception) finds him incorporated into virtually all aspects of popular culture--television, popular fiction, movies, tattoos, even sports--in a manner that seems to defy classifying. Is it image-making or image-taking? Why is our culture so obsessed with an obscure Irish writer most people have not read? Each essay provides a unique appraisal of Beckett's branding.
