Abstract

From the studying of Worstward Ho (1983), one of the last texts written by Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), this article intends to investigate how the Irish writer’s universe is shaped in order to attain his declared “literature of the unword”. This work is known as one of the writer’s most radical experiences in the field of prose.
