The Unnamable
About the book
The iconic trilogy of novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, relaunched for a new generation. I can't go on, I'll go on.
Molloy: a sordid vagrant riding his bicycle through the countryside, sucking stones, on a quest for his mother. Moran: a private detective sent on his trail, investigating his crimes – but soon to deteriorate alongside him.
Malone: an octogenarian man on his deathbed, naked in piles of blankets, wiling away the time with stories – writing, reminiscing, raging, surviving.
The Unnameable: an armless and legless creature from a nameless place, weeping and watching in his urn, orbited by visitors outside a chop-house.
Together, these selves speak, debate, exist: the prose as alive, or more, than them. 'The master innovator of them all.'
