Het Dalkey-archief
Dalkey is een vredig, saai kustplaatsje op pakweg twintig kilometer ten zuiden van Dublin. Maar niets is wat het lijkt. Het is ook de plek waar Augustinus in een onderwatergrot verschijnt, brigadier Fottrell banden lek prikt om te voorkomen dat mensen in fietsen veranderen en James Joyce, die gewoon nog blijkt te leven, bij de Jezuïeten wil. En dan is er ook nog de waanzinnige geleerde De Selby die op ingenieuze wijze de wereld wil vernietigen, waar Mick en Hackett een stokje voor proberen steken. En ondertussen staat in het Colza Hotel mevrouw Laverty onverstoorbaar achter de bar. In Het Dalkey-archief, de laatste, hilarische roman van het Ierse genie Flann O’Brien, gaan de luiken open, wordt de fantasie ruimhartig binnengelaten en worden de grenzen van de werkelijkheid maximaal opgerekt.

La boca pobre
La boca pobre, segunda novela que escribió Flann O?Brien, es la más divertida de las obras de este maravilloso autor irlandés. Fue publicada en gaélico en 1941 y en 1964 se tradujo al inglés. Para esta edición el texto ha sido traducido del gaélico.La novela es una crítica de la situación en la que se encontraba la población rural irlandesa a mediados del siglo xx. Trata sobre la identidad, real o impostada, y el título de La boca pobre alude a una expresión gaélica que hace referencia a cargar las tintas sobre la pobreza y las penurias que se padecen, con objeto de obtener compasión y lástima, y los beneficios que estas reportan. Aquí todos buscan ser lo que no son.La sátira fue siempre un elemento muy presente en la tradición gaélica. Flann O?Brien lo sabía y contribuyó al género con esta estupenda novela.

At Swim-Two-Birds
"A real writer, with the true comic spirit. A really funny book."—James Joyce "This is just the book to give your sister if she's a loud, dirty, boozy girl!"—Dylan Thomas 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

The Best of Myles
The best comic writer I can think of. -- S.J. Perelman Brilliant, morosely inventive comic turns devoted to O'Brien's favourite topics: the literary life, the Gaelic Revival, civil service bureaucracy, booze and its discontents. Observer A lot of American readers think that S.J. Perelman was the humorous essayist of the century; but who did Perelman himself consider the best comic writer around? Flann O'Brien, aka Myles na Gopaleen, aka Brian O'Nolan... Not to be missed. Washington Post
