Malone Dies — Samuel Beckett (Penguin Modern Classics)
1 in stock
Description
'Malone Dies' by Samuel Beckett is the second novel in his celebrated trilogy, following 'Molloy' and preceding 'The Unnamable'. The novel centres on Malone, an old man confined to a bed and awaiting death, who passes the time by writing stories and reflecting on his memories, possessions and increasingly uncertain sense of identity. As the boundaries between Malone's life, memories and invented characters begin to dissolve, Beckett strips away conventional plot and narrative certainty. First published in French in 1951 as 'Malone meurt', and translated into English by Beckett himself in 1956, the novel is a stark and darkly comic meditation on mortality, isolation, consciousness and the limits of language.
