Party Pieces: Oral Storytelling and Social Performance in Joyce and Beckett - Irish Studies
Alan W. Friedman
Like many of their characters, Joyce and Beckett were superb musicians, creators of performance, and they sought both to evoke and exhaust the resources and rhythms of language and performance. This work explores the rich historical and literary backgrounds of this distinctly Irish phenomenon. It discusses the major works of both authors.
