Dive into 'The Dalkey Archive' by Flann O'Brien, a work considered almost science fiction. In this novel, characters like St. Augustine and James Joyce intertwine with a man in danger of turning into a bicycle. It also presents the first portrait of the mad scientist who would later achieve fame as de Selby. A must-read for lovers of modern fiction and literary humor.
Brian O'Nolan, whose pen names included Flann O'Brien, was an Irish Civil Service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, who is now considered a major figure in twentieth-century Irish literature. Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. His four English-language novels, At Swim-Two-Birds (1939), The Hard Life (1961), The Dalkey Archive (1964) and The Third Policeman (1967), were published under the pen name Flann O'Brien. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish-language novel, An Béal Bocht (1941), were written under the name Myles na gCopaleen.
