Written by Samuel Beckett - Audio book performed by Sean Barrett - Unabridged Fiction - 5 COMPACT DISCS - 5 hours, 45 minutes

Publisher, Naxos Audiobooks (August 2005)

The Unnamable is the third and final novel in Becket’s trilogy, three remarkable prose works in which men of increasingly debilitating physical circumstances act, ponder, consider and rage against impermanence and the human condition.

The Unnamable, in the words of his friend and publisher John Calder, the crown of what has become known as 'The Beckett trilogy'. The narrator is not sure where he is, who he is or why he is. He might have just died and found himself in another world, but it hardly matters. He changes his name, calls others by different names, imagines episodes, remembers events, speculates about the future. The tone changes from storytelling to desperate panic. It is one of the most compulsive voices in literature – brought to life here in extraordinary fashion by Sean Barrett.
