'On a certain day this man looked out accidentally through a certain window and saw a saint in his garden taping out the wallsteads of a new sunbright church, with a distinguished concourse of clerics and acolytes along with him, discoursing and ringing shrill iron bells and reciting elegant latin.'

I felt sure I was not going against the road. It was, so to speak, accompanying me.

Just finished At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O'Brien. Do the three white pages at the end have any meaning? #FlannOBrien

It is widely considered to be O’Brien’s masterpiece, and one of the most sophisticated examples of metafiction. 2/2

Eek! I am extremely excited to share the first panel for #BraveNewWorlds. Friday morning will see us explore intoxication, sedation and the experience of time across the work of Huxley and O'Nolan in this most pharmacologically exciting set of papers! 💊

Always it was only the drone of his voice I heard, never the separate bits of words.

OF ALL the many striking statements…I do not think that any of them can rival his assertion that ‘a journey is an hallucination'.

‘To spend it and spin it out and not have all of it forever unused inside him.'
'All what?'
' His lifetime. He wants to get rid of as much as possible, undertime and overtime, as quickly as he can….’

But who had uttered these words…They were clearly audible…They came from deep inside me…Never before had I believed or suspected that I had a soul…I was not altogether alone.

His book is so bad that there will be no hero, nothing but villains.

…I was handed a magnifying glass…I looked at my hand through it and saw nothing that was recognizable…MacCruiskeen took it back with a smile at my puzzled eye.
