art of Samuel Beckett is conceptually framed by the possibilities of the impossible; or, as J.M. Coetzee puts it, The art of Samuel Beckett has become an art of zero, as we all know. We also know that an art of zero is impossible (45). Beckett's writing-much of it stylistically composed under erasure, as it were-achieves a coincidence of opposing impulses that for Coetzee permit[s] a fiction of net zero: the impulse towards conjuration, the impulse towards silence (45)
