Here can be found the true transcripts of Myles's clashes with the law courts on charges of larceny, currency offenses, marrying without the consent of his parents, gang warfare, and using bad language; here too are bizarre obituaries, bores, banalities, jovialities and immoralities, and the return of the preposterous Brother. Also included is the first-ever Myles article.' (Quote taken from the back cover). ***A first impression of the first US edition, published as a paperback original, in nice collectable condition.

Brian O'Nolan (1911-1966) was an Irish novelist, playwright and satirist, considered a major figure in twentieth century Irish literature. Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in postmodern literature. His English language novels, such as At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman, were written under the pen name Flann O'Brien. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish language novel An Béal Bocht were written under the name Myles na gCopaleen. At Swim-Two-Birds is widely considered to be O'Brien's masterpiece, and one of the most sophisticated examples of metafiction. It was originally published in 1939 by Longmns, but only sold around 240 copies before 1940, when Longman's London premises were destroyed during a bombing raid by the Luftwaffe and almost all the unsold copies were incinerated.

8vo., pp. 157; red publisher's cloth, stamped in gilt on spine; slight roll to spine, otherwise a near-fine copy in a mildly worn, near-fine, unclipped dust-jacket.First edition. A short comic novel described by O'Brien's biographer Anthony Cronin as 'a small masterpiece', The Hard Life recounts the turn-of-the-century doings of a nameless narrator and the characters around him, with a remote, disdainful calmness and clarity. Set in the same turn-of-the-century Dublin as Joyce's Portrait of the Artist, it consists, as Cronin says, of a series of conversation pieces that are 'classics of pointless dialectic' a brand of comedy O'Brien's pseudonymous journalist, Myles na Gopaleen, spent years perfecting in his Irish Times column.Praised by the reviewers, The Hard Life's sales were disappointingly moderate. Graham Greene, who in 1939 had championed O'Brien's first novel, wrote to him: 'At Swim-Two-Birds has remained to my mind ever since it first appeared as one of the best books of our century. But my God, what a long time it has been waiting for the next one.'Quotations taken from The New York Review of Books, November, 1999.
