Drawing on private correspondence and little known documents,
published and unpublished, Pilling explores every aspect of the
More Pricks Than Kicks short story collection. From its publishing
history to why they were written, Pilling reveals Beckett's
conflicted feelings about the 'compromise' of writing short stories
and his struggle to find a voice distinct from James Joyce, his
friend and authority of the form. By discussing each story as
separate entity, in a grouping that deviates from the collection,
and by analysing 'Echo's Bones', Pilling makes new comparisons and
contrasts, illustrating Beckett's idiosyncratic handling of the
form. Making sure to place the stories in the context of the
post-war work, this early study of Beckett highlights the years and
work central to his development as a writer.
