A masterpiece of black humour from the renown comic and acclaimed author of �?~At Swim-Two-Birds�?T �?" Flann O�?TBrien. 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�?T is comparable only to �?~Alice in Wonderland�?T as an allegory of the absurd. Distinguished by endless comic invention and its delicate balancing of logic and fantasy, �?~The Third Policeman�?T is unique in the English language.; 240 pages; 16/04/2007
