Making following the romantic trilogy ( Molloy , Malone dies and Unnamable the ), How it is present a fiction and a style which undoubtedly count among most extraordinary of the Republic of the letters.
A narrator tells with the reader the history of his life, which it cut out in three parts which are closely related to its meeting with one of its similar, that it calls Pim: , and.
Initially a solitary snaking in mud and the black, trailing with him a jute bag in which it transports its vivres. While advancing with let us touch in mud, it discovers this Pim, with which it spends one long period when it undertakes to communicate with him, where it tortures it to make it speak. Become again only, to crawl in mud, he wonders about his existence, his life, Pim, the other etc… During this third time of solitary immobility, he hears - and repeats, it is the text that we read - a voice, in a made fragmented style of bits of sentences.
Perhaps equipped with a requiring style and an anecdote with most abstract, How it is constitutes the chief of work of Beckett in the field of the novel.
