- 小说
The Third Policeman is Flann O'Brien's brilliantly dark comic novel about the nature of time, death, and existence. Told by a narrator who has committed a botched robbery and brutal murder, the novel follows him and his adventures in a two-dimensional police station where, through the theories of the scientist/philosopher de Selby, he is introduced to "Atomic Theory" and its relation to bicycles, the existence of eternity (which turns out to be just down the road), and de Selby's view that the earth is not round but "sausage-shaped." With the help of his newly found soul named "Joe," he grapples with the riddles and contradictions that three eccentric policeman present to him.
The last of O'Brien's novels to be published, The Third Policeman joins O'Brien's other fiction (At Swim-Two-Birds, The Poor Mouth, The Hard Life, The Best of Myles, and The Dalkey Archive) to ensure his place, along with James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, as one of Ireland's great comic geniuses.

"As with Scott Fitzgerald, there is a brilliant ease in his prose, a poignant grace glimmering off every page." --John Updike
"Frenetic, dazzling, unconscionably funny . . . sparkles with wit, elegance, and eruditon (authentic and mock) . . . provides delight in profuse measure." --Newsweek

评分湖南文艺这版的第三个警察的封面画面的主体是一个自行车链条，还有书中反复提到的自行车这个意向，让读完全文兴奋又懊丧的我莫名其妙想起了这句流行语。 之前对这位作者一点都不了解，对爱尔兰文学也没有多少概念，哪怕是著名的尤利西斯，与法国那本追忆似水年华一样，可以说是...
