Synopsis
The first in Beckett's great trilogy of novels, followed by "Malone Dies" and "The Unnameable". In "Molloy", the eponymous hero has been mysteriously incarcerated. He escapes, goes on a quest to find his mother, and is hounded by a man named Jacques Moran. The novel was written in French in 1951, then translated into English by Beckett himself. It contains the famous last lines: "Then I went back into the house and wrote, It is midnight. The rain is beating on the windows. It was not midnight. It was not raining.

Industry Reviews
"Mr. Beckett himself writes rather like a wounded bird, in short stabbing flights, never getting far into the air before he falls back, but wonderfully moving in these tiny arcs. After such rereading my own initial disappointment gave way to the conviction that his trio of novels--MALLOY, MALONE and THE NAMELESS ONE--are more powerful and important than GODOT."
