Insufferable: Beckett, Gender and Sexuality rethinks the role of
gender politics in the oeuvre, demonstrates Beckett's historical
importance in the development of the 'antisocial thesis' in queer
theory, and shows the work's attachment to sexuality as temporarily
consolatory but ultimately unbearable. The Beckett oeuvre might
seem unpromising material for gender and sexuality studies, but
this is exactly what makes it worth considering. This Element
brings to Beckett questions that have emerged from gender, queer,
and trans theory, engages with the history of feminism and
sexuality studies, and develops a theoretical framework able to
account for what we have previously overlooked, underplayed, and
misinterpreted in Beckett. In the spirit of being 'on the lookout
for an elsewhere', it makes a case for a queerly generative
de-idealisation of Beckett as an object of critical study.
