Abstract
Monadic spaces inhabit a significant number of both Beckett's and Gadda's narrative spaces. The refashioning and distortion of the Leibnizian concept of the monad in their oeuvres brings to light some essential features of both authors' critique of the traditional, unitary notion of the self. Indeed, the divergences which transpire in the reinterpretation of the rationalist concept of individual substance reveal a fascinating parallel relating to the fragmentation of subjectivity in both authors' writings. In this context, particular attention will be given to Gadda's early theoretical and fictional writings and Beckett's fiction up to the French Trilogy.
