Malone Dies

Novel by Сэмюэл Беккет

Blurb

Malone Dies is a novel by Samuel Beckett. It was first published in 1951, in French, as Malone meurt, and later translated into English by the author.
The second novel in Beckett's "Trilogy". Along with the other two novels that compose the trilogy, it marked the beginning of Beckett's most significant writing, where the questions of language and the fundamentals of constructing a non-traditional narrative became a central idea in his work. One does not get a sense of plot, character development, or even setting in this novel, as with most of his subsequent writing. Malone Dies can be seen as the point in which Beckett took another direction with his writing.
Malone Dies contains the famous line, "Nothing is more real than nothing",.
