  • 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…

    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…

  • Proust's Binoculars

    Walter A Strauss, Roger ShattuckARTICLEModern Language Notes1965

    In this compact volume readers just beginning Proust's master work and those who are already enriched by it will become aware of a significance not unkown but only forgotten--the basic structure of Proust's enormous novel. The overall meaning of Proust's book lies in his three ways of looking at the world--cinematographic, montage, and stereoscopic--and their varying effects on the emotions and the intellect.Originally published in 1983.The Princ…

  • Albert Camus, Stone-Mason

    Walter A StraussARTICLEModern Language Notes1962

    What are these two or three simple and great images? The reader and the critic will not hesitate to name the sea and the sun and the earth. These three are certainly the recurrent features of Camus' landscape: they constitute his kingdom, in a sense even his paradise. But since all of Camus' work is a dialogue between the invincible summer and the inexorable winter, between the sea and the prisons,2 between the kingdom and exile, it would conceiv…
