at swim-two birds

I remember learning in school that Lewis Carol was into illicit drugs. If there was ever a writer I was suspicious of drug use...  I think Flann O'Brien is your man. I haven't read a lot of Irish folklore, but man, the stuff this author talks about makes me wonder if all folklore was written under the influence. Have you ever heard of a Pooka? It's an Irish version of a devil. Kangaroos, invisible fairies, and Pookas oh my!

All I have to say about this book, is that I'm glad it's over. No quotation marks, no chapters, and a story within a story within a story.

Here's hoping the next book is better...
