<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>An unprecedented gathering of the correspondence of one of the great writers of twentieth century, the <i>Collected Letters of Flann O'Brien</i> presents an intimate look into the life and thought of Brian O'Nolan, a prolific author of novels, stories, sketches, and journalism who famously wrote and presented works to the reading public under a variety of pseudonyms. Spanning the years 1934 to 1966, these compulsively readable letters show us O'Nolan, or O'Brien, or Myles Na gCopaleen-or whatever his name may be-at his most cantankerous and most intimate.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"'Tis the odd joke of modern Irish literature--of the three novelists in its holy trinity, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and Flann O'Brien, the easiest and most accessible of the lot is O'Brien. . . . Flann O'Brien was too much his own man, Ireland's man, to speak in any but his own tongue."--Washington Post<br><br>"O'Brien is always worth investigation by the converted, the curious, and the endemically lighthearted."--Kirkus Reviews<br><br>"O'Brien was one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century . . . "--Boston Globe<br><br>"When the layers are peeled away, they reveal an imaginative comic genius with a genuine gift for language."--Publishers Weekly<br><br>"Wit, humor, satire, the exact fall of a Dublin syllable, the ear for the local turn, the flight of fancy that can spin into a Dublin joke or a Limerick limerick--all these are his."--New York Times<br><br>"A real writer, with the true comic spirit."--James Joyce<br><br>"Flann O'Brien is unquestionably a major author. His work, like that of Joyce, is so layered as to be almost Dante-esque. . . . Joyce and Flann O'Brien assault your brain with words, style, magic, madness, and unlimited invention."--Anthony Burgess<br>
