At Swim-Two-Birds

Flann O'Brien

Signet, NY. 1976. First Plume Paperback printing.Some creasing and rubbing to cover,toning throughout. An excellent copy of this classic.

From the publisher:

"A wildly comic send-up of Irish literature and culture, At Swim-Two-Birds is the story of a young, lazy, and frequently drunk Irish college student who lives with his curmudgeonly uncle in Dublin. When not in bed (where he seems to spend most of his time) or reading he is composing a mischief-filled novel about Dermot Trellis, a second-rate author whose characters ultimately rebel against him and seek vengeance. From drugging him as he sleeps to dropping the ceiling on his head, these figures of Irish myth make Trellis pay dearly for his bad writing."

I am excited for you to buy this superb novel. Truly one of the best to ever do it.Kinda like The Savage Detectives but way better.
