Esta colección de ensayos sobre el humor en la obra de Samuel Beckett parte de una reacción contra la imagen estereotipada del premio Nobel irlandés de 1969 como autor solemne, angustiado y aburrido. Por el contrario, la mayoría de los expertos en su teatro, sus novelas y su poesía señalan el humor como parte fundamental de su universo creativo. Se trata, sin duda, de un humor complejo y que cumple muchas funciones en su escritura. Además, es un humor que cambia con el paso del tiempo, desde el humor satírico de sus primeros textos hasta los alivios cómicos de las obras más profundas de su última etapa, pasando por el humor descacharrante de sus novelas. Los artículos que aquí se reúnen, escritos por especialistas de diversas universidades europeas y americanas, componen el variopinto mosaico que conforma la producción literaria de un genio de la literatura del siglo XX, todo ello desde el prisma de la comicidad.
