The iconic trilogy of novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, relaunched for a new generation.
I can't go on, I'll go on.
Molloy: a sordid vagrant riding his bicycle through the countryside, sucking stones, on a quest for his mother. Moran: a private detective sent on his trail, investigating his crimes - but soon to deteriorate alongside him.

Malone: an octogenarian man on his deathbed, naked in piles of blankets, wiling away the time with stories - writing, reminiscing, raging, surviving.

The Unnameable: an armless and legless creature from a nameless place, weeping and watching in his urn, orbited by visitors outside a chop-house.

Together, these selves speak, debate, exist: the prose as alive, or more, than them.
'The master innovator of them all.' Guardian
