Book summaryFlann O'Brien, one of the masters of Irish comic fiction, sets this farcical novel in turn-of-the-century Dublin--the same milieu in which Joyce DUBLINERS takes place. Finbarr and his older brother are orphans raised by the alcoholic Mr. Collopy who, after he scandalizes the Pope on a trip to Rome, meets a bizarre end. Media reviews"[A] small masterpiece....[T]he seediness of a run-down middle-class life largely confined to kitchen and basement is superbly conveyed." |
