Written by Samuel Beckett, First Love focuses on a first love affair, and the primary loves that influenced Beckett's life and writing - his dead father, his delight in language, and his profound need for isolation.
The 39 year old narrator looks back to when he was 25 and talks about the eviction from his childhood home, his life as a vagrant in Dublin and his meeting with his first love, 'Lulu'.

"One could hardly come up with a better human instrument to intone the sonorous waves of Beckett's blasphemous comic prose that Conor Lovett" Los Angeles Times on The Beckett Trilogy
