Third Policeman
Flann O'Brien
Within the boudaries of this novel the reader will find: a murder thriller; a comic satire about an archetypal village police force; a surrealistic vision of eternity; the story of a tender, brief unrequited love affair between a man and his bicycle; and a chilling fable of unending guilt.

Posted by camuscores (1 year ago ) Better than Beckett and Joyce put together.Only book that comes close might be 'Tristan Shandy'.'At swim two birds' is just as good and even his biography 'no laughing matter'is worth a read.

Jaded? Fed up with the same old same old, novels lacking in wit and invention? Buy The Third Policeman.
Posted by tcook@abctales.com (1 year ago ) I'm so glad someone put this up - it's a fantastic book. It's funny, witty, sarcastic and very very odd. Flann O'Brien's writing is a joy - and this is the very best of it.
