Barbara Will’s essay is a treatment of the relationship between Samuel Beckett’s Resistance activity and his minimalistic writing after the war. Will argues for the need to situate Beckett’s work in a political and historical context, instead of an exclusively aesthetic one. Indeed, Will contends that one must look at Beckett’s work translating and encrypting top-secret documents in the ‘Gloria’ Resistance cell in Paris to place into proper context Beckett’s investment in ‘economy’ and ‘clarity’ that characterizes his postwar work.
