100 Jahre Flann O'Brien
Flann O'Brien, one of my favorite authors, was born 100 years ago. Sweeny is a charakter in the novel "At Swim-Two-Birds", which is O'Briens best work I believe.
Together with "Slaughterhouse Five", "Naked Lunch", "To Kill a Mockingbird" and other great books it was picked for the "ALL TIME 100 Novels" list. It could be doubt if such a list can be as reasonable as entertaining - but I have no doubt at all that O'Brien totally deserves to be on the list.
Flann O'Brien - a post-modernist when it was neither popular nor profitable.
