Abstract
This chapter analyzes Eliot’s The Waste Land and Barnes’s Nightwood as attempts to imagine mortal obligations in terms of erotic desire. The discussion centers on the queering of mortal obligation in these texts. In its theoretical framework, the chapter also explores the relation between Emmanuel Levinas’s concept of radical responsibility for others and Lacan’s concept of the death drive.
