Faber to reissue Samuel Beckett’s three seminal novels
Faber will reissue Samuel Beckett’s Molloy (Faber), Malone Dies (Faber) and The Unnamable (Faber) in March 2025.
The new editions of the novels will be designed by art director Pete Adlington and feature new introductions from Colm Tóibín, Claire-Louise Bennett and Eimear McBride. They will be reissued 70 years after Molloy was first published in English.
"I am sure that these splendid editions will attract a fresh new readership to these fascinating novels," said Edward Beckett of the Estate of Samuel Beckett.
On the three novels, Faber’s classics editor Henry Eliot added: "Individually they are strange, hilarious, sometimes terrifying novels—and together they chart the artistic epiphany of one of the 20th century’s most extraordinary writers. We are presenting them individually, in fresh new covers, with introductions by three leading novelists, Colm Tóibín, Claire-Louise Bennett and Eimear McBride, who describe Beckett’s remarkable achievement, his legacy and his importance to their own writing."
Beckett was born in Dublin and lived in France during the Second World War. His work began to achieve widespread recognition with the production of En attendant Godot/Waiting for Godot (Grove Press/Faber). He won the Prix Formentor and the Nobel Prize in Literature.
