【Course Objectives】

In this course, we will closely read Samuel Beckett's Watt(1953) and Molloy(1955).

【Course Contents】

Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) is the most important figure in the twentieth-century English and French literature. His extraordinary work, which revolutionized both the novel and the drama, explores the fundamental questions regarding language, story-telling and life itself, more sharply and deeply than any other author's work. In this course, we are reading Watt(1953), which he wrote while he was hiding from the Nazis during WWII, and Molloy(1955), which marks the start of his most productive period after the war. (The latter was first written in French and translated into English by the author with the help of an assistant.) By reading these novels, which represent Beckett's middle period, we will consider the most important questions of the twentieth literature, including the figure of the 'pseudocouple' that obsessed Beckett.
