Flann O'Brien & Modernism brings a much-needed refreshment to
the state of scholarship on this increasingly recognised but still
widely misunderstood 'second generation' modernist. Rather than
construe him as a postmodernist, it correctly locates O'Brien's
work as the product of a late modernist sensibility and cultural
context. Similarly, while there should be no doubt of his
Irishness, and his profound debts to Irish language, history and
culture, this collection seeks to understand O'Brien's nationally
sensitive achievement as the work of an internationalist whose
preoccupations reflect global modernist trends. The distinct themes
and concerns tracked in Flann O'Brien & Modernism include
characterization in branching narrative forms; the ethics and
paradoxes of naming; parody and homage; lies and deception;
theatricality; sexuality; technology and transport; and the
inevitable matter of drink and intoxication. Taken together, these
specific topics construct a mosaic image of O'Brien as an exemplary
modernist auteur, abreast of all the most salient philosophical and
technical concerns affecting literary production in the period
immediately before and after World War Two.
