Murphy

Samuel Beckett

Published in 1938, Murphy was Beckett's first novel and third work of fiction. Murphy, a work-shy Irishman in London, loved by a prostitute, concerns himself with getting wiser and achieving peace of mind. Tragic-comic, the novel demonstrates the author's satirical self-perception in an unusual way.
