Summary

Samuel Beckett: Malone dies

Illustrated by Boris Dogan

Malone (man alone?), the titular "hero" of this demanding read, a helpless old man, already at the beginning says that he is tired and that he does not know where he is and how he got there. Imprisoned in a room, he lies motionless in bed and only touches the objects around him with his eyes. He is reconciled to the inevitable, he remembers what he has experienced - maybe he is, in fact, Molloy from the first part of the trilogy, and maybe not...
