Perhaps there is less work by Samuel Beckett that is as close to Beckett himself and his career as "Imagination Dead Imagine" and can represent it so well. In this work, more than any other work by Beckett, the reader encounters the same famous expression of Theodore Adorno of Beckett's works, that is, "removing the illusion of neutral aesthetics" and confronting the reader with naked and shocking truths. Adorno says, "The idea of aesthetics being value neutral is nonsense." But before that, in this book, Beckett put this rule into the written experience. "Imagination Dead Imagine" is originally part of a longer essay called All Strange Away, which Beckett expanded on. The text talks about a situation where the imagination is dying, but the image itself is not aware of its dying state.
