Description
Set against the backdrop of World War Two, Samuel Beckett's novel Watt tells the story of a mysterious figure known as Mr. Watt, who is tasked with performing a series of seemingly meaningless tasks.
Written in 1953, this comic novel was first published during a tumultuous period in Beckett's life, when he was hiding from the Gestapo in Roussillon.
Watt is part of Beckett's oeuvre, which includes other notable works such as Murphy and Waiting for Godot. This novel has its place within this series, offering a unique blend of humour and philosophical inquiry.
