*Molloy* , the first of the three masterpieces which constitute Samuel Beckett’s famous trilogy, appeared in French in 1951, followed seven months later by *Malone Dies* ( *Malone meurt* ) and two years later by *The Unnamable* ( *L’Innommable* ). Few works of contemporary literature have been so universally acclaimed as central to their time and to our understanding of the human experience.
