I just finished Beckett's trilogy (Molloy; Malone Dies; The Unnamable). I think I have just read the single best portrayal of the mind, of the human, in the known world.

I've read a small portion of criticism when researching scenes/words while reading (unfortunately I didn't not have a reader or footnoted copy but the beauty of a smart phone came in handy). Can anyone point me into a direction of the current conversations about this book (no biographical/historical crit).

I want to know this too. I've flipped through countless collections of secondary material and have been left unfazed by all. Starting to get the impression that he's really done it -- that there really could be nothing of value for anyone to say about the text itself.

I read the first 40 pages of this and got bored.

It's not for everyone, that being said this trilogy is among my favourite books. Each book actually has less plot than the preceding one. The final book makes the first action orientated by comparison.

It took me 4 months to read. Saying that I don't know if it was worth its(it was worth it).

I doubt there are any Beckett specialists here
