摘要
Examining Beckett's reading of Max Nordau's Degeneration, this article suggests that the discourse of degeneration is an important context for Beckett's 1934 collection of short stories, More Pricks Than Kicks. In the figure of Belacqua Shuah and his "buckled discourses," Beckett forges an avant-garde aesthetic that creatively responds to contemporaneous discourses of disability and degeneracy.
