In praise of what’s-his-name
Some prefer “At Swim-Two-Birds,” and brilliant it is, with the young Flann O’Brien perhaps under the Joycean spell, perhaps lightly mocking the master. “The Poor Mouth: A Bad Story About the Hard Life” is an acquired taste, but, even without fully understanding the Irish folk tradition is satirizes, a romp of hilarity. Then of course you’ll want to get your hands on the collected columns of Myles nagCopaleen (“Miles of the Little Horses”), the pithy, playful, amusingly arrogant Irish Times writer. Myles/Flann were both alter egos of Brian Nolan, an Irish civil servant who was never able to make it as a writer, in his lifetime.
This fan of Brian/Myles/Flann reserves a sentimental spot for a comic masterpiece about a greedy fellow’s journey into a surreal, bicycle-obsessed land.
