Abstract

This essay is a study of the enunciative process of Samuel Beckelt's "first and only novel" (H. P. Abbot), Murphy (1938). In contrast to the criticai view that explains this novel (away) by describing it as a text in which "style is at odds with the matter," this paper analyzes the rift between narrative voice and a narrative material in Murphy both as a further elaboration of the theoretical problems raised by More Pricks Than Kicks (1934) and as an early prefiguration of the displacement of fiction by narration characteristic of Watt (1944) and of Beckett's later work.
