Also included is the first-ever Myles article.' (Quote taken from the back cover). ***A first impression of the first US edition, published as a paperback original, in nice collectable condition.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: good. First American edition. Hardcover in bright yellow paper covered boards lettered in black over black cloth spine lettered in yellow.

The Irish author's first novel, it was published in London in 1939 (the true first is virtually unobtainable) and has been considered one of the top 20th century novels. Graham Green called it "A book in a thousand." and likened it to "Tristam Shandy" and "Ulysses". It is a sophisticated novel of a young Dublin literature student, told in the first person but with deals with three seperate, interwoven stories. The book's unusual tile is derived from the name of a ford on the River Shannon in Ireland.

Rubbing to edges and corners of boards. Age toning throughout texblock. Shelved in Case 7. Brian O'Nolan (1911-1966) was an Irish novelist, playwright and satirist, considered a major figure in twentieth century Irish literature. Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in postmodern literature. His English language novels, such as At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman, were written under the pen name Flann O'Brien. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish language novel An Béal Bocht were written under the name Myles na gCopaleen. At Swim-Two-Birds is widely considered to be O'Brien's masterpiece, and one of the most sophisticated examples of metafiction. It was originally published in 1939 by Longmns, but only sold around 240 copies before 1940, when Longman's London premises were destroyed during a bombing raid by the Luftwaffe and almost all the unsold copies were incinerated.

8vo., pp. 157; red publisher's cloth, stamped in gilt on spine; slight roll to spine, otherwise a near-fine copy in a mildly worn, near-fine, unclipped dust-jacket.First edition. A short comic novel described by O'Brien's biographer Anthony Cronin as 'a small masterpiece', The Hard Life recounts the turn-of-the-century doings of a nameless narrator and the characters around him, with a remote, disdainful calmness and clarity. Set in the same turn-of-the-century Dublin as Joyce's Portrait of the Artist, it consists, as Cronin says, of a series of conversation pieces that are 'classics of pointless dialectic' a brand of comedy O'Brien's pseudonymous journalist, Myles na Gopaleen, spent years perfecting in his Irish Times column.Praised by the reviewers, The Hard Life's sales were disappointingly moderate. Graham Greene, who in 1939 had championed O'Brien's first novel, wrote to him: 'At Swim-Two-Birds has remained to my mind ever since it first appeared as one of the best books of our century. But my God, what a long time it has been waiting for the next one.'Quotations taken from The New York Review of Books, November, 1999.

First edition. 8vo., original wrappers. Dublin, The Irish Times. Loosely inserted is a mysteriously blunt note from the author, declaring in his umistakable holograph: "Mr. Daly, to repair, please, Brian, 17/1/48". An unusually excellent copy of a fragile item, the note - albeit with some clear history of previous creasing - in very good state.

First edition. Small 4to., original unsewn cream wrappers, printed in black. [Dublin, St. Sepulchre's Press]. Limited to around 30 copies.

First edition. 8vo., original pictorial card wrappers and pictorial map endpapers by Seán O'Sullivan. (Dublin), An Press Naisiunta. Spine creased as usual, a small hole at the base, edges foxed, still a fine copy of the first edition of O'Nolan's classically funny, if cruel, parody of the early twentieth century celebratory memoirs of life in the deep margins of Ireland by writers such as Thomas O'Crohan and Maurice Sullivan. Later published in English as The Poor Mouth, illustrated by Ralph Steadman, who copied Seán O'Sullivan's vanity of the pictorial endpapers bearing a fanciful map of the Atlantic: Britain is "de Odar Saigd" and has only two features, Money Order offices, and G.B.S. The U.S.A. has more Money Order offices.

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. McDonnell, "An Irishman's Diary," *The Irish Times*, June 16, 2012. Gerry Smyth, "O'Brien & Kavanagh: Kicking Against the Pricks," *The Parish Review* (Spring 2014).
