PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rodney Sharkey is Professor of English at Weill Cornell Medicine, Qatar. His specialized fields of interest are in Anglo-Irish literature, critical theory, performance dynamics, and popular culture. He publishes regularly in journals such as Modern Culture Reviews, Journal of Beckett Studies, Perspectives on Evil and Human Wickedness, and Reconstruction.
An audacious and effective double reading, which argues that both Bowie and Beckett, in their various ways, give the lie to false ideas of Capitalist progress. Clear and dynamically written, Sharkey’s text convincingly makes the case for Bowie and Beckett as unlikely companions, evoking, engaging with, and disrupting an alienating world. * David Pattie, Associate Professor in Drama and Theatre Studies, University of Birmingham, UK * A highly innovative and provocative account of the nexus between Samuel Beckett and David Bowie. Sharkey’s work is, all at once, highly erudite, accessible, and challenging. * Eoin Devereux, Co-director, Centre for the Study of Popular Music and Popular Culture, University of Limerick, Ireland, and co-editor of David Bowie: Critical Perspectives (2015) *
