The Unnamable

The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett

Somebody is trapped in an odd existence and wonders what is going on with him and the outside world. It is a weird rambling experience. I found this one more accessible than the others in the trilogy. Trying to find a plot is next to impossible, but the rambling is interesting.

Malone Dies

Malone Dies by Samuel Beckett

I wanted to like this book, but could not understand what was going on. Malone was dying. He was also going crazy. It was hard to follow with the accented reader.

Molloy

Molloy by Samuel Beckett

Beckett wrote Molloy originally in French, then later translated to English. The audiobook is narrated in English which makes it somewhat hard to grasp. Molloy is an old guy meandering around town. At times he is sucking on stones and determining how to count them. Later somebody is sent to track down Molloy. He ends up losing his abilities in the process. This may be better read so as not to be distracted by the accent.
