An unprecedented gathering of the correspondence of one of the great writers of twentieth century, the Collected Letters of Flann OBrien presents an intimate look into the life and thought of Brian ONolan, 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 ONolan, or OBrien, or Myles Na gCopaleenor whatever his name may beat his most cantankerous and most intimate.
