Beckett's second published novel in English, Watt first appeared as a limited edition of 1125 copies produced by The Olympia Press in Paris in 1953. It is found here in its first trade edition, issued by the same publisher in 1958. In 2009 Faber and Faber published a new edition edited by C. J. Ackerley, in which Ackerley corrected the many errors and omissions that had frustrated Beckett since the novel's first appearance in print.
