The Unnamable

The third of the three greatest novels by the era-defining Nobel laureate, reissued for a new generation.

I can't go on, I'll go on.


The Unnamable is a voice. Is it curled up inside an urn, on the point of being born, or is it about to die? Haunted by visitors, it weeps. The Unnamable sifts disjointed memories, grapples with the problem of existence and ultimately perpetuates itself through an endless stream of fragmented words.

The Unnamable is the last of the three great novels Samuel Beckett produced during his 'frenzy of writing' in the late 1940s. The others are Molloy and Malone Dies.
