“Tears and laughter,” says Beckett’s Molloy, “they are so much Gaelic to me.” This course examines Beckett’s two funniest novels — Murphy (1938), a Swiftian tale of madness and ginger biscuits, and Watt (1942), a send-up of the quest for knowledge — and situates them in a genealogy of comic writing in Ireland.
