Flann O‘Briens classic novel of a surreal and hellish village police force. If you haven’t experienced this novel yet then you must, as you will never read (or listen) to anything like it again. Absolutely brilliant!!
“His writing is invariably compared to those other Irish greats, Joyce and Beckett, but for me he is infinitely more accessible and much funnier.” – Sue Arnold, The Guardian
“What fun not to know which direction any sentence will take.” – Christina Hardyment, The Times

About Flann O'brien
Flann O’Brien was the pseudonym of Brian O'Nolan (5 October 1911 – 1 April 1966). He was an Irish novelist and satirist, best known for his novels At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman. He also wrote many humorous columns in the Irish Times under the name Myles na gCopaleen.
Within the boudaries of this novel the reader will find: a murder thriller; a comic satire about an archetypal village police force; a surrealistic vision of eternity; the story of a tender, brief unrequited love affair between a man and his bicycle; and a chilling fable of unending guilt.
