The iconic trilogy of novels by the Nobel Prize-winning legend, relaunched 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.
Samuel Beckett was an Irish playwright, theatre director, novelist and poet. Born in Dublin in 1906, he studied French, Italian and English at Trinity College. He moved to Paris in 1928 - where he would spend much of his life, writing mostly in French - to teach English, and worked as a courier for the French resistance during World War II. His most famous play, Waiting for Godot, was first performed in 1953. He then wrote Endgame (1957), Krapp's Last Tape (1958) and Happy Days (1961). A modernist, associated with the 'Theatre of the Absurd', his work eschews conventional plotting or structure, exploring the human condition as bleakly humorous and profound, using laughter as a weapon against despair. Over his career, his work became increasingly experimental and minimalist, stripped down to the most essential elements: Play (1962) places its characters in funeral urns with only their heads visible, and Not I (1972) consists of a mouth speaking in the darkness. In the 1940s and 50s Beckett also published a number of acclaimed novels. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Beckett died in 1989 and is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.
