What is the author's name?

Question

I am listening to the audio version of My Life As A Fake by Peter Carey. Can anyone tell me the correct name/spelling of the author of a book the character Chubb owned? It sounds like Malomay. I am not sure if the author is British or Australian. Apparently it is a famous author but I don't recognize the name. Again, it sounds like Mal-0-may. This author is mentioned in chapter 38.

Answer 1

Probably the French author Mallarme.
