About this book
A murder and a missing cashbox lead an unnamed narrator into a bizarre world of policemen, bicycles and impossible explanations. The theories of the eccentric thinker de Selby run alongside his increasingly disorienting adventures. Flann O’Brien turns a crime story into a darkly comic exploration of guilt, identity and existence, where everyday logic repeatedly gives way to the absurd.
