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.

——————

"A most sardonic novel about life after death with the dead man telling the comic and terrifying story . . . a strange, original comic genius." --New York Times

"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

当小说中,娓娓叙说到:有由风制作,可体现人寿命的长袍;煞有介事地改造”原子论“,论述人与自行车相互融合置换的灾难;一本正经地解释重重镜子相对放置,便能反射出一人的过去时,作为读者的我们,便到了选择的时候:是与作者奇诡变幻的叙述共同嬉戏,抑或做蒙眼的骡子任由...
