This volume contains numerous essays on Beckett that the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Modern Literature\u003c\/i\u003e has published in the last decade. Their enduring quality proves that Beckett's oeuvre has maintained its appeal today because it attracts original scholars who are also interested in issues like philosophy, psychoanalysis, ethics, contemporary history, and literary theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction, by Jean-Michel Rabaté\u003cbr\u003e Nothing is Impossible: Bergson, Beckett, and the Pursuit of the Naught, by Jeremy Colangelo\u003cbr\u003e Beckettian Habit and Deictic Exhaustion, by Shuta Kiba\u003cbr\u003e Glitches in Logic in Beckett's \u003ci\u003eWatt\u003c\/i\u003e: Toward a Sensory Poetics, by Amanda M.
