Over the next two weeks I am trying to get two classes to take a serious look at Beckett's Molloy.
They are, so far, resisting. Today I will have us read one sentence at a time out loud. Nothing will
work, no doubt, but this is worth a try. I will also show slides of paintings by Pollock and other
abstract expressionists to see if a visual analogy will help. Probably not. What college students
are really reading these days are the novels by Stephanie Meyers about vampires. Maybe I can
show them the rich analogies between vampires and Beckett's two main characters in Molloy.
