Samuel Beckett's early novel, Watt, offers a darkly comic and deeply philosophical exploration of human existence and the absurdities of life. Written during Beckett’s time in hiding during World War II, the narrative follows Watt, a peculiar and bewildered man, as he embarks on a surreal journey to serve as a caretaker in the household of the enigmatic Mr. Knott. The story unfolds with eccentric logic and repetitive prose, illustrating the breakdown of language and the futility of understanding in a chaotic world.
