Narration Toward Books Novels II of Samuel Beckett: Volume II of The Grove Centenary Editions

Edited by Paul Auster, this four–volume set of Beckett's canon has been designed by award-winner Laura Lindgren. Available individually, as well as in a boxed set, the four hardcover volumes have been specially bound with covers featuring images central to Beckett's works. Typographical errors that remained uncorrected in the various prior editions have now been corrected in consultation with Beckett scholars C. J. Ackerley and S. E. Gontarski.

"A man speaking English beautifully chooses to speak in French, which he speaks with greater difficulty, so that he is obliged to choose his words carefully, forced to give up fluency and to find the hard words that come with difficulty, and then after all that finding he puts it all back into English, a new English containing all the difficulty of the French, of the coining of thought in a second language, a new English with the power to change English forever. This is Samuel Beckett. This is his great work. It is the thing that speaks. Surrender." — Salman Rushdie, from his Introduction

Commentary Appertaining To Books Novels II of Samuel Beckett: Volume II of The Grove Centenary Editions

I just wanted to recommend these new Grove Centenary editions for their beauty, quality and readability. The trilogy is so much easier to read in this form than in that horrid little old Grove paperback.

The three novels - Molloy, Malone Dies, and the Unnamable - are considered one of the greatest trilogies written in the 20th century. I must disagree.When assessing a work of art, I think, one ought to consider at least three things: 1) style; 2) story; and 3) artistic merit against a backdrop of the historical, cultural, and artistic trends of the day.Did Beckett create a new genre, a new way to write novels and dramas? Undoubtedly yes. 521 pages of constant, disconnected, meaningless blabber,

If you want to experience 'the stream of consciousness' in novels, as far as I know, Beckett's works may interest your curiosity. His narration is simply unique. "In Search of Lost Time" by Marcel Proust is of course another famous series. I've read this volume since 2007 & been busy working till I forgot to open it; the page reached then, p. 143.



I am now in Book 3 of this 4-volume set of works by the 1969 Nobel Prize for Literature winner, Samuel Beckett (1906-1989). I have completed reading all of his 7 novels: (1) (5 stars) Murphy is about an aging man who plays pacifist chess. I swiftly finished this because my brother liked this so much too; (2) (4 stars) Watt is a servant in an apartment and I stalled reading this for a few months because I could not understand what was going on. Hard-to-follow plot but I did not know it
