Review:
"A real writer, with the true comic spirit."
--James Joyce "Unquestionably a major author . . . Flann O'Brien assault[s] your brain with words, style, magic, madness, and unlimited invention."
--Anthony Burgess "O'Brien was one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century."
--BOSTON GLOBE "At Swim-Two-Birds has remained in my mind ever since it first appeared as one of the best books of our century. A book in a thousand . . . in the line of Ulysses and Tristram Shandy."
--Graham Greene "At Swim-Two-Birds is both a comedy and fantasy of such staggering originality that it baffles description and very nearly beggars our sense of delight."
--CHICAGO TRIBUNE "[The Third Policeman is] the funniest book ever written . . . and scariest."
--Charles Baxter, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO "The Poor Mouth shows a comic genius working close to his best capability. Humor of this quality, this intensity, is very rare; as witty in its language as in its invention, it cries to be read aloud."

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Containing the five Flann O'Brien novels- At Swim-Two-Birds, The Third Policeman, The Poor Mouth, The Hard Life, The Dalkey ArchiveIn the five novels by Ireland's greatest comic writer we can explore the full range of his invention, from the multi-layered madness of At Swim-Two-Birds to the piercing realism of The Hard Life and the surreal logic of The Third Policeman. This is a world where bicycles listen to conversations, inventors search formethods of 'diluting' water, and characters play truant while novelists sleep; a world where spiteful fairies wreak havoc and heroes from legend blunder into suburban sitting-rooms. This is recognizably the Ireland of Joyce and Beckett - rowdy, high-spirited, by turns sensual and and cerebral -transformed by O'Brien's unique vision. In the five novels by Ireland's greatest comic writer we can explore the full range of his invention, from the multi-layered madness of At Swim-Two-Birds to the piercing realism of The Hard Life and the surreal logic of The Third Policeman.
