Theatre that seeks to represent the absurdity of human existence in a meaningless universe by bizarre or fantastic means. Murphy bu “dış işleri” bir yıldız falcısından aldığı bilgiler doğrultusunda yapıyor. Spinozacı bir yoruma göre yukarıda bahsedilen us/beden ikilisi aslında aynı şeyin, tanrının farklı tezahürleridir. (Murhpy’e göre) Yıldız hareketleri de buna dahildir ve akıl harici yegane güvenilir bilginin kaynağıdır. Benim aklıma daha fazla yatan ikinci bir yoruma göre ise Murhpy burada “Us / beden ikiliğinin üstesinden gelinemez, birbiriyle bağdaştırılamaz ve aralarında ilişki kurulamaz” yaklaşımında. Bu da, kitapta da daha sonradan ikinci yorumu güçlendirir şeklide adı geçen Geulincx adında bir filozofun yaklaşımıymış. Murphy has perceived life as a meaningless bundle of facilities. Murphy found it better to retreat to the world of oblivion and nothingness instead of being tortured in this sterile and insipid world. 'Murphy' projects the most frequently exploited seminal ideas: The prose throughout is taut and lean - with multiple ironies and bons mots peppered throughout - and it holds you in its vice grip by making you laugh out loud.

L'Expulsé", written 1946, in Nouvelles et Textes pour rien (1955); "The Expelled" Stories and Texts for Nothing (1967) [100]My friend and career mentor, Bruce Hodgins, used to say to me, "Don't sweat the small stuff, Fergus!" Yet Murphy does just that. Il finale, Murphy che finisce in un bar di quart’ordine e Celia che accompagna il nonno ad Hyde Park a far volare l’aquilone, è fantastico. The dog consumes the biscuits without Murphy’s knowledge after his incredibly detailed computations regarding them! The lettuce is rejected by sheep. Murphy drifts off. Okay, it can't really be this hard. Murphy, an Irish depressive, has to get a job because Celia, his petite amie, thinks it will do him good. So he leaves Ireland, goes to London and starts working at a mental hospital. All sorts of Irish problems follow him, but Murphy finds himself escaping them among the mad, who have abdicated their responsibilities to the staff and lead lives of unencumbered irresponsibility that Murphy envies. Mr. Endon, the wisest madman, lures Murphy into playing a game of chess with him, and it's that game that forms the spine of the book. It's described in loving, and to me incomprehensible, detail, but if you're patient and willing to educate yourself with a chess reference source as you read, you'll come to realize that this game is the novel you're reading, and the novel is the chess game.

The reason for such nutty mysticism is stress: the world, for him, is aporetic and thus unworkable, because he, puritanical at heart though not in hormones, is at war with himself and the world.To gain the affections of Miss Dwyer,” he said, “even for one short hour, would benefit me no end.” She felt, as she felt so often with Murphy, spattered with words that went dead as soon as they sounded; each word obliterated, before it had time to make sense, by the word that came next; so that in the end she did not know what had been said. It was like difficult music heard for the first time.”
