The Editorial Board of the Journal of Beckett Studies has extended its call for papers for the forthcoming special issue titled ‘The Colours of Entropy in Beckett’s Work’. The number will be guest edited by Swati Joshi, David Pattie, and Mark Byron. Exploring the concept of entropy in the oeuvre, contributions should address ‘Beckett’s lifelong curiosity regarding the principles of physics’ which ‘shape the existential, economic, sexual, clinical, emotional, and above all, artistic entropy in his poems, short stories, novels, and plays’.
The full call which includes outline and submission details can be accessed below. The new closing date for receipt of abstracts is 31 January 2027.
