ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses three dimensions of Beckett’s “trilogy”. The first “The relation between writer and reader”, addresses the centrality of the dyadic relation in Beckett’s expansion of his free associational technique from the novellas to the trilogy. It is followed by a section titled “The last but one but one”, addressing repetitive iterations within Beckett’s Molloy. The third section, “Working through the trilogy”, examines the process of Beckett’s narrative clarification accomplished through the repetitive action of multiple narratives.
