What other works does Beckett, the author of Waiting for Godot, have?

Beckett's earliest novel was the dream of a mediocre woman, but it was not finished. Then he wrote several short stories, which were later published in 1929. This collection of short stories was rejected by more than one publishing house just because of its title, because they didn't realize that the title came from the Bible. Beckett's humor first appeared in these short stories, and also showed his ability to master the language. He used carefully chosen meanings and obscure words instead of lengthy realistic descriptions.

When he returned to Ireland to take care of his father, Beckett began to write his first excellent novel Murphy, but he was rejected 42 times before he found a publisher to publish it at 1938. This is an obscure and funny story, which describes how an unemployed Irishman evaded work and got involved in a love affair. Morfi hints at Beckett's own painful and isolated world scene, but the author hides it in a cheerful and funny complex plot-love in the triangle (or four corners), romantic and legendary description of the idlers at the bottom of Dublin society, and educational novels interspersed with it (although the reader is fully grown up when he first meets the protagonist Morfi, who ties himself to a rocking chair and tries to shake himself into a forgotten world). Literary historians classify this work and Joyce's Ulysses as Irish urban epics.

Beckett returned to Paris on 1937, but his literary career (he wrote literary reviews for a living at that time) was interrupted by the German occupation. While working for the underground organization, he wrote Watt, an article about quasi-mathematical substitution and synthesis, which integrated more than a dozen philosophical premises. Some people of insight try to organize the elusive chaotic reality through the five senses, and Watt is Beckett's most successful attempt to fictionalize this complex process. Pun in the title [Watt is the name used by another character named Knodt. Watt is homophone with what, and Knodt is homophone with not. ) From the beginning, through a series of labyrinths of feeling possibility (including six pages of words describing the exchange of eyes between committee members) to the last frequently quoted appendix ("No sign where no one is looking"), the whole story is a terrible language game.

After experiencing the chaos of the war, Beckett began to write his first French novel Messia and Camille in 1946 (1970), and his first drama The Believers of Elicius in the following year. Today, these two works are only a preview of miraculous literary and dramatic creation in the next decade. In the following ten years, he published three representative works, malloy, Malone Dying and Nobody. His plays Waiting for Godot and Doomsday (1956) were also published, translated and performed, and he also translated these works into English himself. These works laid the foundation for him to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, but they eclipsed more than a dozen similar works, even though a small writer would succeed with these works.
