Title: Kafka meets Monty Python in this guided tour of hell.
Product review: Though not as well known as Joyce, Yeats, Wilde, Shaw, or Beckett, Flann O' Brien is a major figure in Irish literature. "The Third Policeman" is a good introduction to his work - if you enjoy it, try "At Swim Two Birds" and "The Poor Mouth" as well.Take a murderer, a bicycle, a highly idiosyncratic Irish police station, then imagine how Kafka and Monty Python might use these elements as ingredients in a Groundhog Day plot, and you get perhaps the funniest depiction of Hell in all of literature. You'll certainly never read anything quite like this book again.Prepare to laugh until it hurts. This is a very funny book.4.5 stars and a strong recommendation.
