Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the second half of June’s book, The Trilogy: Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett (translated from the French by the author and Patrick Bowles) published in 1951 (from Page 209 "I fear I may have fallen asleep again" if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that I take a book I’ve never read, split it in two and discuss each half on the second and last Fridays of the month. I’ll do a first impressions summary alongside my thoughts and reactions and then raise any interesting ideas so far in the novel (be aware - there may be spoilers.) And then on the last Friday of the month, I'll discuss the second half of the book. We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at youtube.com/@BookShook or send an email to [email protected]. The book we’ll be reading for July is All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld — we’ll be reading up to Chapter 15 on page 120 (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside me). The first episode will be on 14th July. Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger Content Warning: I've removed any explicit language. There are some adult themes throughout the work (sex and violence) so do check the content of the novel before continuing.
