The author analyses the given signature through such terms as language, the neutrum and memory, simultaneously incorporating the mentioned terms in the context of Becketts early prose. The first part of the book is theoretical and concentrates on coining the term signature through different philosophical viewpoints ([url] Lotman, Blanchot, Bergson), whereas the second part analyses Becketts early works in the context of the signature ([url] Proust, More Pricks Than Kicks, Murphy). The book also analyses a posthumously-published short story Echos Bones that opens new in.
