Samuel Beckett led me to the exploration of embodied lives in absolute systems that persistently fail to account for lived experiences. After the publication of Beckett’s Intuitive Spectator: Me to Play (2018) where I examined how the artist’s dramatisation of loss appeal more to the audience’s intuition than the intellect, I turn to a more in-depth consideration of loss in illness narratives. I am particularly interested in how authors navigate through healthcare systems and their experiences with medical technologies. My literary research intersects with my medical humanities focus in the experience of loss in healthcare settings: the loss of physical control, the witnessing of loss, and the experience of dying.
