Watt

by Samuel Beckett

Overview

In prose possessed of the radically stripped-down beauty and ferocious wit that characterize his work, this early novel by Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett recounts the grotesque and improbable adventures of a fantastically logical Irish servant and his master. Watt is a beautifully executed black comedy that, at its core, is rooted in the powerful and terrifying vision that made Beckett one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

What People are Saying About This

Kenneth Rexroth

A step forward in the best possible medium for Beckett's vision -- the grim humor of Iphigenia in Taurus, Lear, Machiavelli's Mandragola, and Jonson's Volpone.
