An indolent college student creates a chaotic fictional world in this classic of Irish literature: “A marvel of imagination, language, and humor” (New Republic).

In this comic masterpiece, our unnamed narrator—a student at University College, Dublin, who spends more time drinking and working on his novel than attending classes—creates a character, a pub owner named Trellis, who himself is devoted principally to writing and sleeping. Soon Trellis is collaborating with an writer of cowboy romances, and from there unspools a brilliantly unpredictable adventure that James Joyce himself referred to as “a in point of fact funny book.”

“’Tis the atypical joke of modern Irish literature—of the three novelists in its holy trinity, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Flann O’Brien, the perfect and most accessible of the lot is O’Brien. . . . Flann O’Brien was once too much his own man, Ireland’s man, to speak in any but his own tongue.” —The Washington Post

“As with Scott Fitzgerald, there’s a brilliant ease in [O’Brien’s] prose, a poignant grace glimmering off each page.” —John Updike

“One of the vital best books of our century.” —Graham Greene
