Molloy was written by Samuel Beckett initially in French. Only later was it translated into English. It was published shortly after WWII and marked a new, mature writing style which was to dominate the remainder of his working life.
Molloy is divided into two sections. In the first section, Molloy goes in search of his mother. In the second, he is pursued by Moran, a private detective.
Within this simple outline, spoken in the first person, is a remarkable novel, raising the questions of being and aloneness that marks so much of Beckett's work, but richly comic as well.
Beautifully written, it is one of the masterpieces of Irish literature.
