Molloy: Samuel Beckett

The first of the three greatest novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, reissued for a new generation.

I am still alive then. That may come in useful.

Molloy, a sordid, bedridden vagrant, recalls a long bicycle ride in search of his mother. He describes sucking on stones, falling in love, getting arrested, killing a dog. Moran, a private detective, sets out to look for Molloy. But as Moran`s physical and mental state deteriorate, his narrative starts to mirror Molloy`s in mysterious ways.
Molloy is the first of the three great novels Samuel Beckett produced during his `frenzy of writing` in the late 1940s. The others are Malone Dies and The Unnamable.
