Elmar Tophoven Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Absurdistische toneeltekst waarin twee hulpeloze clochards tevergeefs wachten op een zekere Godot.

The aged and bedridden protagonist (Molloy / Moran / Malone) awaits death, telling stories about other personifiations of himself to pass the time.

"During the German advance through Belgium into France in 1940, Captain de Reixach is shot dead by a sniper. Three witnesses, involved with him during his lifetime in different capacities - a distant relative, an orderly and a jockey who had an affair with his wife - remember him and help the reader piece together the realities behind the man and his death"-- Provided by publisher
