Presents a selection of writings from the pen of Brian O'Nolan (aka Flann O'Brien, Myles na Gopaleen, George Knowall).

The classic satire from the renowned comic and acclaimed author of `At Swim- Two-Birds' - Flann O'Brien.

The fictional escapades of Chapman and Keats, based on the translator of Homer and the key Romantic poet respectively, that make up this volume highlight the extraordinary talent of Flann O'Brien.

Writing his column Bones of Contention for the Nationalist and Leinster Times, the author took on the character of the quizzical and enquiring humorist who might be found in a respectable public house in Carlow: erudite, urbane and informative.

From the author of the classic novel `At-Swim-Two-Birds' comes this ingenious tale which follows the mad and absurd ambitions of a scientist determined to destroy the world.
