Question
The claim that this author is merely an “oracle of the truth of ‘being’” is disputed by Pascale Casanova in a book subtitled “Anatomy of a Literary Revolution.” This author’s admiration for the 17th-century philosopher Arnold Geulincx (“GOO-links”) is shared with a protagonist created by him who murders a “charcoal-burner” with the aid of his crutches. The enigmatic narrator of a novel by this author references two of his other title characters by stating that he is neither Murphy nor Watt. The detective Jacques Moran tries to track down the title character of a novel by this author that forms a trilogy with Malone Dies and The Unnamable. This author used French to write the novel Molloy and a play centered on Vladimir and Estragon. For 10 points, name this Irish author of Waiting for Godot. ■END■
