This book discusses the elusive centrality of silence in modern literature and philosophy,
focusing on the writing and theory of Jean-Luc Nancy and Roland Barthes, the prose
of Samuel Beckett, and the poetry of Wallace Stevens. It suggests that silence is
best understood according to two categories: apophasis and reticence. Apophasis is
associated with theology, and relates to a silence of ineffability and transcendence;
reticence is associated with phenomenology, and relates to a silence of listenership
and speechlessness. In a series of diverse though interrelated readings, the study
examines figures of broken silence and silent voice in the prose of Samuel Beckett,
the notion of shared silence in Jean-Luc Nancy and Roland Barthes, and ways in which
the poetry of Wallace Stevens mounts lyrical negotiations with forms of unsayability
and speechlessness
