Malone, a decrepit old man, lies naked 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, 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.
