D. Laing’s description of the schizophrenic voyage as a delving inwards and backwards towards the realm of “primal man ... ” 51 The “sealed jar” of subjectivity is opened out here towards other realms, towards non-human becomings and rhizomatic flux where egoic postulates are momentarily transcended. The schizo’s stroll is presented here as “a breath of fresh air” 52 which refuses to be co-opted into the I-voice of traditional subjectivity. The language Molloy uses is that of flows: a flow of images, a flow of sounds or a flow of words.

Molloy has a fixed objective, but also an unfixed and unstable route towards that objective which invokes a destination even as it denies that destination or goal: For I did not know if it was the right road. All roads were right for me, a wrong road was an event for me. 45 As it happens, this is also the way in which Deleuze and Guattari understand schizophrenia which they treat as a concept as much as an illness. I have suggested that Molloy inhabits a realm of schizoid subjectivity which can be named and identified.
