Summary

Described as an answer to or at least an echo of Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last tape, this book is a monologue delivered by the "she" in Beckett's play. The monologue is prefaced with a description of two stone figures. While the male figure remains "as dead and gone as anyone can," the female bursts into life, and her monologue gradually focuses on Krapp's use of pauses and language to dominate the other characters in the Beckett play. Ultimately, however, her complaints and critique of Krapp become a declaration of her love for Krapp or at least an affirmation of their attachment, as the two of them are ultimately bound together, perhaps even inseparable.
