  • Samuel Beckett and Music

    Walter A Strau, Walter A StraussARTICLESubStance2000

    The dust-jacket of Samuel Beckett and Music features a drawing by Beckett's friend Avigdor Arikha entitled "Samuel Beckett listening to music, 9 xii 1976." It shows an intent listener who is concentrating on his experience. One wonders to what he might be listening. Schubert, perhaps? Beckett was fiercely interested in music all his life; he grew up with music, became an amateur pianist, married an accomplished pianist, and evidently broadened hi…

  • The Merchant of Venom? T. S. Eliot and Anti-Semitism

    Open AccessWalter A Strau, Walter A StraussARTICLESouth Central Review1997

    The chronic misbehavior of poets and artists has been a political, and sometimes moral, problem since antiquity. ... [A]lthough in general Goethe was right and more is permitted to poets than to ordinary mortals, poets, too, can sin so gravely that they must bear their full load of guilt and responsibility. And . . . the only way to determine unequivocally how great their sins are is to listen to their poetry-which means, I assume, that the facul…

    Tournier's third novel was to be centered precisely on this pneumatic and life-giving Comforter-Wind. Its present title, Les Metiores, still retains more than a trace of its original intention, implying a general complex of meteorological conditions (not merely meteors)--climate, weather, the elements, but particularly the aerial forces impinging on the other elements-comes closer to the novel's intended mythological scope. Concerning this mythol…

    La parabole blanchotienne et kafkaenne du chant de la sirene. Kafka est reellement concerne par l'integrite de l'esprit de l'Odyssee, non par ce qu'elle recele de creativite. Pour B. Odyssee est l'artiste privilegie. Les sirenes peuvent disparaitre dans la verite et la profondeur de leur chant. L'A. montre comment B. applique sa parabole au paradigme de la narration: le recit est le royaume de la metamorphose, passage du chant reel au chant imagi…
