Molloy is Samuel Beckett's best-known novel, and his first
published work to be written in French, ushering in a period of
concentrated creativity in the late 1940s which included the
companion novels Malone Dies and The Unnamable. The narrative of
Molloy, old and ill, remembering and forgetting, scarcely human,
begets a parallel tale of the spinsterish Moran, a private
detective sent in search of him, whose own deterioration during the
quest joins in with the catalogue of Molloy's woes. Molloy brings a
world into existence with finicking certainties, at the tip of
whoever is holding the pencil, and trades larger uncertainties with
the reader. Then I went back into the house and wrote, It is
midnight. The rain is beating on the windows. It was not midnight.
It was not raining. Edited by Shane Weller
