More about the book
Focusing on the philosophical exchanges between two wandering vagabonds, this novel explores the meaning of their journey rather than its physical aspects. The narrative is characterized by its lack of clear beginnings or endings, emphasizing the characters' reflections on life and their goals. As Beckett's first postwar work and his initial venture into French, it serves as a precursor to his iconic play, Waiting for Godot. This accessible piece showcases Beckett's early experimentation with narrative structure and the novel form.
