“Beckett, Lacan, and the Voice” by Llewellyn Brown explores the role of the voice in Beckett’s works, from its origins to its influence on the narrative structure and character development. The voice, which emanates from an ambiguous source and permeates every word spoken by the characters, is a constant presence throughout the texts. It can be soothing or intrusive, depending on the context. The study proposes that literary creation can transform the pain caused by the voice into a vital connection to language.
Beckett’s most evocative echo will be found on the borders of dialogue and narrative silence. As a psychoanalytic tool, this unique perspective offers insight into an under-the-radar site where the political vocabulary of the language of culture becomes deeply entangled with the structures of conduct and principle animating literary art.

Описание книги от Llewellyn Brown
The voice traverses Beckett's work in its entirety, defining its space and its structure. Emanating from an indeterminate source situated outside the narrators and characters, while permeating the very words they utter, it proves to be incessant. It can alternatively be violently intrusive, or embody a calming presence. Literary creation will be charged with transforming the mortification it inflicts into a vivifying relationship to language.
In the exploration undertaken here, Lacanian psychoanalysis offers the means to approach the voice's multiple and fundamentally paradoxical facets with regards to language that founds the subject's vital relation to existence. Far from seeking to impose a rigid and purely abstract framework, this study aims to highlight the singularity and complexity of Beckett's work, and to outline a potentially vast field of investigation.
