"Sex and Aesthetics in Samuel Beckett's Works "places sex and
sexuality firmly at the heart of Beckett's ouevre. From the
earliest prose to the late plays, Paul Stewart uncovers a profound
mistrust of procreation and a surprising variety of
non-reproductive forms of sex-- the solitary, the homoerotic, and
the geriatric--which challenge established notions of propriety and
identity politics. Sex informs Beckett's search for a means of
aesthetic creation not infected by aspects of natural procreation,
and the suffering and death which it entails, in the hope that the
tyranny of Schopenhauer's will-to-live might be overcome. Paul
Stewart ably and amply shows that sex, so long overlooked, is an
integral, and troubling, facet of Beckett's art.
