Description
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. This period 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. Moran's 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 was midnight. The rain is beating on the windows. It was not midnight. It was not raining.

About the Author
Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906. He was educated at Portora Royal School and Trinity College, Dublin, where he graduated in 1927. His made his poetry debut in 1930 with Whoroscope and followed it with essays and two novels before World War Two. He wrote one of his most famous plays, Waiting for Godot, in 1949 but it wasn't published in English until 1954. Waiting for Godot brought Beckett international fame and firmly established him as a leading figure in the Theatre of the Absurd. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Beckett continued to write prolifically for radio, TV and the theatre until his death in 1989.
