Samuel Beckett
Murphy
Excellent story centred around someone who is beloved by all, well, lusted after, and his self fulfilling prophecy that him having to work to please his squeeze will result in her losing him. Wittily written with more than a few passing references to either expressions, languages, events or simply words that I'm not familiar with so probable even more witty and enjoyable to either those living in the 1930s who were better educated than what I am and have lived in Paris and other exotic locations. Nevertheless a very enjoyable read ranging from a serious analysis of what is deemed madness to laugh out loud situations and pathos. There you go. I do know Greek.
