Description

Samuel Beckett wrote the novel 'Watt' in occupied France. It's about fascism and complicity. 

Host Jeff Douglas spoke to Seán Kennedy about how his Irish studies course is reading Beckett's novel as a way to think about liberal colonialism, fascism, and zionism in Ireland, in the Middle East, and right here in Nova Scotia.
