This volume sports a very long subtitle that signals its sideways, subversive stance--a quest for lively heartfelt expression. Contributors are professors of English or literature, most based
in the UK though a few are based in the US. Editors Schad (modern literature, U. of Lancaster, UK) and Tearle (Loughborough U., UK) have brought together "twenty-four voices, twenty-four shots
in the dark, or maybe shots at the dark, or possibly the head, or even the foot. But whatever, each is a shot at pushing the perambulator of dear old criticism..."--(from the foreword). The
title refers to a scene from Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Distribution in the US is by ISBS. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
