The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett, Eimear McBride New edition of the classic novel, published for the first time by Faber with an introduction by Beckett scholar Steven Connor. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The third of Becketts post-war novels, after Molloy and Malone Dies, The Unnamable was first published in French, and in Becketts English in 1958. Like a great horned owl in an aviary, the unnamable narrator - so named because he knows not who he may be - sits nowhere and speaks of previous selves (all these Murphys, Molloys, and Malones do not fool me) as so many diversions from the need to stop speaking altogether. As with the earlier novels, the prose has its own indomitable precisions, its afflicted but desirous reasons for being. Notes New edition of the classic novel, published for the first time by Faber with an introduction by Beckett scholar Steven Connor Back Cover The third of Beckett Author Biography Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906.
