Flann O'Brien: The Third Policeman (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) [2007] paperback Condition:New But there are many stringsA masterpiece of black humour from the renown comic and acclaimed author of 'At Swim Two Birds' Flann O'Brien. A thriller, a hilarious comic satire about an archetypal village police force, a surrealistic vision of eternity, the story of a tender, brief, unrequited love affair between a man and his bicycle, and a chilling fable of unending guilt, 'The Third Policeman' is comparable only to 'Alice in Wonderland' as an allegory of the absurd.
