      abstract = {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.},
