The second of the three greatest novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, reissued for a new generation. "Nothing is more real than nothing. " Malone, a decrepit old man, lies na ked in his bed, scrawling bitter observations in an exercise book. He is fed on a bed-table, his chamber pot is emptied, he hooks items with his stick, he looks out of the window. He tells the story of a man, looked after by nurses, taken for an ill-fated picnic on an island in the sea. As his mind disintegrates, so does the novel.Malone Dies is the second of the three great novels Samuel Beckett produced during his 'frenzy of writing' in the late 1940s.
