Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. First English translation of this novel published in the Irish language in 1941. Brian O'Nolan (I1911 1966), his pen names being Flann O'Brien and Myles na Gopaleen, was an Irish civil service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, who is now considered a major figure in twentieth-century Irish literature. He is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. His English language novels, such as At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman, were written under the O'Brien pen name. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish-language novel, An Béal Bocht, were written under the name Myles na Gopaleen. An Béal Bocht (The Poor Mouth) is a 1941 novel in Irish by Flann O'Brien, published under the pseudonym "Myles na Gopaleen". It is regarded as one of the most important Irish-language novels of the twentieth century. This English translation by Patrick C. Power appeared in 1973. [Wikipedia] With 12 dark and funny text illustrations and cover illustration by Ralph Steadman. The eighty-eight year old Steadman is a well known British illustrator probably best known for his collaboration with the American writer Hunter S. Thompson. Steadman is renowned for his political and social caricatures, cartoons and picture books [Wikipedia]. It appears that Steadman autographed the title page of the book, writing his name Bound in brown paper covers with a yellow and gilt title label to spine. With a gold pictorial dust jacket that has been price clipped. Both the binding and the dust jacket show minor signs of wear but are otherwise in very good condition. With map designs on front and rear endpapers. Text pages are in lean and bright and also in very good condition. Measures 6.25 x 9.5 inches. 128 pages. LIT/072524.

Zustand: Very Good. Magazine. 12 issues. Large quartos. Vol. 1, Nos. 1-12 (April 12 - June 28, 1952). Each stapled issue consists of eight pages. A continuous run of the first 12 issues (of only 13 issues published), lacking the final issue (No. 13, July 5, 1952). A few small edge tears, the first two issues are toned with scattered foxing in issue No. 1 and a bump and associated chip and tear at upper left corner of issue No. 2, issue No. 12 is lightly toned at bottom margin with some chipping and small tears at the bottom edge, very good overall. Housed in a fine dark green clamshell box together with a near fine copy of the uncommon 1981 complete facsimile edition of all 13 issues (published by the Goldsmith Press, Ltd., with an introduction by Peter Kavanagh). A near complete set of this short-lived "unique and extraordinary magazine," edited and published in Dublin by the great Irish poet and writer Patrick Kavanagh and his brother Peter Kavanagh. As noted by Gerry Smyth in *The Paris Review*, the magazine "was intended to shock contemporary Ireland from what its editors considered to be the dreadful moral, economic, and artistic malaise into which it had collapsed." Patrick and Peter wrote much of the content, with Patrick contributing most of the leading articles and some poems, published under his name and various pseudonyms. Peter financed and designed the magazine, and contributed articles under the pseudonym John L. Flanagan. Novelist, playwright, and satirist Brian O'Nolan (better known as Flann O'Brien, a key figure in 20th Century Irish literature), contributed six articles between April and June, most under the pseudonym Myles na gCopaleen. Patrick once remarked that the magazine contained his "best autobiograph." After *Kavanagh's Weekly* folded, the brothers burned all the unsold copies in the fireplace of their Dublin flat. A scarce set of the first 12 issues, together with the complete edition in facsimile, well-preserved in a fine clamshell box. References: Peter J.
