Product Description
Synopsis
This is a collection of writings from the Irish satirist Flann O'Brien, edited from more than 3000 columns which appeared daily in the "Irish Times" under the pseudonym Myles na gCopaleen. Where previous collections are mere compilations, this collection of wartime columns treats the famous Irishman Myles na gCopaleen and his hectoring associates as the fictional characters they were intended to be. Tracking the shocking disintegration of this bright young writer, philosopher and social commentator, we witness Myles' steady decline, as his sparkling wit darkens in an alcoholic tragedy of the mind.

A new hilarious book from the Irish master Flann O'Brien
'The first comic writer I would think of' J.S. Perlman
At last! A new and hilarious book from the Irish master, Flann O'Brien. This magnificent work confirms the author's reputation as the funniest man who ever lived and the foremost satirist to come from Ireland since Jonathan Swift. At War was edited by John Wyse Jackson, co-author of John Stanislaus Joyce, from the more than 3000 columns which appeared daily in the Irish Times under the pseudonym Myles na gCopaleen.
For the first time, this collection of wartime columns treats Myles and his hectoring associates as the fictional characters Flann O'Brien intended them to be. Tracking the shocking disintegration of this bright young writer, philosopher and social commentator, the author chronicles Myles na gCopaleen's steady decline, as his sparkling wit darkens in an alcoholic tragedy of the mind. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
