Introduction -- PART I -- 1. Writing against Art -- 2. A Reluctant Poetics -- PART II -- 3. "why after all not say without further ado what can later be unsaid" (Company) -- 4. "begin again all over more or less in the same place or in another" (How It Is) -- 5. The Turn to Hyperbole -- Conclusion.

Beckett and Levinas are of central importance to critical debates about literary ethics. Rather than suggest the presence of literary and ethical value in the wake of the Second World War, this book argues that both thinkers waged a sustained attack on the principles of literature, weaving narrative and descriptive doubt through phenomenology, prose, and drama. Peter Fifield uses conceptual and rhetorical figures shared by Beckett and Levinas - such as the face, the trace, re-commencement, hyperbole, the saying and the said - to address a wide range of texts by both authors, arguing for a Levinasian manner of reading that is distinctly non-ethical.
