Paperback. On his deathbed, and wiling away the time with stories, the octogenarian Malone's account of his condition is intermittent and contradictory, shifting with the vagaries of the passing days: without mellowness, without elegiacs; wittier, jauntier, and capable of wilder rages than "Molloy". The sound I liked best had nothing noble about it. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: FC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 196 x 130 x 14. Weight in Grams: 198.
