Abstract 520    $a"Jonathan Boulter offers the reader a way of understanding Beckett's presentation of the posthuman subject in his short prose. These texts are utterly compelling yet notoriously difficult because of Beckett's radical dismantling of the idea of the human. They offer an image of a being who may be posthumous, or at least existing in a state of nostalgia for what has been lost, yet the narrators still find themselves placed within material, recognisable, spaces. This book explores what the idea of 'world' can mean to a subject who appears to have moved into a material, even ecological, space that is beyond categories of life and death, being and world." --Back cover.
