• TITLE OF THE PAPER:  SAMUEL BECKETT, HIS NOVELS AND PHILOSOPHY

• AUTHOR OR TOPIC:  THE EXPERIMENTAL NOVEL OF SAMUEL BECKETT

• ABSTRACT OF THE RESEARCH IN NO MORE THAN 100 TO MAX. 150 WORDS:

    In this work I will try to deal with Samuel Beckett´s work on novel.  As we know Samuel Beckett was successful with his Theatre of Absurd.  I will compare his absurd plays with his experimental novels such as Watt (1943-1944) and his famous trigoly of Molloy (1951), Malone Dies (1951) and The Unnamable (1953).

    Beckett´s main characteristic is the experimental literacy, and I will study this experimental literacy comparing him with his friend James Joyce and his novel A Portrait of a Young Artist.  The main idea is to get to know Beckett´s novel as well as his play Waiting for Godot.

    To get to study Beckett´s novel I will have to make reference to his time, style and philosophy of living . I will mention his biography and career as a writer who won a Nobel Prize in 1969.
