Reviews

Molloy by Samuel beckett (Feb 15, 2010)
Reviewer:Phil Hollins
Absolutely brilliant.
I already have this on the intial Naxos release on 7 cassettes and am seriously considering buying this CD version not only for friends but also (again) for myself. CDs being more convenient and less prone to damage (erasure).
I saw it reviewed in The Guardian: the performances of the readers was reviewed as masterly: they are.
The result is pure... Absolutely brilliant.

The result is pure Beckett: sparse but with more of an eye towards narrative than his later works such as Engames or Godot. This results in something like a cross between Becket and the surrealistic novels of Flann O'Brien.
If you like Beckett or want to try him this is one to get. It's very long but unforgettable. Can't recommend it highly enough. Superb. (read more)
