The Third Policeman

A 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.Distinguished by endless comic invention and its delicate balancing of logic and fantasy, -The Third Policeman- is unique in the English language.
