Annotation
Explicates the story’s central allusion to the Fisher King of Arthurian legend, focusing on the bilingual pun of the word geld. Montgomery reads the narrative as a direct response to T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922) and argues for its importance in shedding light on the young author’s developing minimalist style and thematic preoccupation with wounded protagonists.
