A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

First published as a column in THE IRISH TIMES, the hilarious escapades of Keats and Chapman (based on the Romantic poet and the translator of Homer respectively) that comprise this volume illuminate the extraordinary talent of the Irish modernist Flann O'Brien. Labelled by the author 'studies in literary pathology', the vignettes - each concluding in a terrible, bathetic pun - are the work of a extraordinarily funny mind exploring the limits of the shaggy dog story. Many have attempted their own Keats and Chapman story, but, in O'Brien's own words, 'Nearly all the stories that reach me from the outside are, for one reason or another, pretty bad - bad in the sense that they are too good...'

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Including The Brother , O Brien s most lasting comic creation, these are the hilarious escapades of Keats and Chapman, which first appeared in Flann O Brien s legendary column in The Irish Times as shaggy dog stories always ending in a terrible pun that demonstrate his extraordinary comic inventiveness. The Brother is the quintessential Dubliner, an authority on every topic who always knows best, and has become a loved Irish comic character and is the author of the great ode to stout, 'A Pint of Plain'.
