Description First Love is one of Beckett's earliest post-war novellas and contains much of the author's special brand of black humour and uncomfortable truths. The narrator, expelled on the death of his father from his room, takes refuge on a bench by a canal and meets a woman who takes him home. The events that follow are hilariously terrible.
