"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.
