Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $a"Beckett, Lacan and the Mathematical Writing of the Real proposes writing as a mathematical and logical operation to build a bridge between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Samuel Beckett's prose works. Arka Chattopadhyay studies aspects such as the fundamental operational logic of a text, use of mathematical forms like geometry and arithmetic, the human obsession with counting, the moving body as an act of writing and love, and sexuality as a challenge to the limits of what can be written through logic and mathematics. Chattopadhyay reads Beckett's prose works, including How It Is, Company, Worstward Ho, Malone Dies and Enough to highlight this terminal writing, which halts endless meanings with the material body of the word and gives Beckett a medium to inscribe what cannot be written otherwise."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aMathematics and literature 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 606 $aReality and literature 606 $2Literary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMathematics and literature. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 615 0$aReality and literature. 676 $a848.91409 700 $aChattopadhyay$b Arka$01067855 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511790503321 996 $aBeckett, Lacan and the mathematical writing of the real$92552077 997 $aUNINA
