This riotous collection at last gathers together an expansive selection of Flann O’Brien’s shorter fiction in a single volume, as well as O’Brien’s last and unfinished novel, Slattery’s Sago Saga.
Also included are new translations of several stories originally published in Irish, and other rare pieces. With some of these stories appearing here in book form for the very first time, and others previously unavailable for decades, Short Fiction is a welcome gift for every fan of Flann O’Brien.
