Description:
At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O’Brien is a groundbreaking work of Irish literature that defies genre, blending satire, folklore, and experimental storytelling. Written with wit, surreal humor, and a playful disregard for convention, the novel follows a young, disenchanted writer who invents characters only to find they have minds of their own.

The central story revolves around the student-narrator, who, from his Dublin home, creates an intricate narrative involving a pub owner, legendary Irish heroes, and characters from Westerns and fairy tales. As the student’s fictional creations grow bolder, they start rebelling against their author, creating a multilayered, self-aware narrative that explores the nature of storytelling, creativity, and identity. O’Brien’s text is a collage of voices and styles, capturing the mythological and cultural richness of Ireland while playfully subverting literary expectations.

This illustrated edition brings O’Brien’s vibrant world to life with artwork that highlights the novel’s whimsical and imaginative quality, enhancing the reading experience by visually capturing the unique settings and eccentric characters.

Regarded as a masterpiece of modernist literature, At Swim-Two-Birds is celebrated for its originality, humor, and intellectual depth. O’Brien’s inventive approach has influenced countless writers, establishing this novel as a must-read for lovers of experimental literature, Irish folklore, and satire. Through its illustrations and narrative complexity, this edition invites readers to immerse themselves in O’Brien’s audacious world, where fiction and reality intertwine in unexpected and delightful ways.
