I'm very excited about this collection of essays - it's full of excellent work by wonderful scholars, including @alice_tps and @anak_kobakma routledge.com/New-Oceania-Mo…

"Of great merit to the essays is the ability to intellectually parse O’Brien’s writing without ever letting his sense of humour fall by the wayside." Read Keelan Harkin's review of "Flann O'Brien: Problems with Authority" for the CJIS [Subscription needed] #page_scan_tab_contents" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jstor.org/stable/2669311…

My toes are twitching with excitement to have my essay about Ó Nualláin's "Bhark i bPrágrais" appearing alongside work by so many amazing scholars in this earth-churning new collection! #flannobrien #gallowshumour

Check out @robmdkiely's reading of the satirical writings Brian O'Nolan in light of the energy history of Ireland, titled: World-Ecological Satire: Peat, Brian O'Nolan, and the Irish Free State's Energy Regime. This is a very timely and relevant article! euppublishing.com/doi/full/10.33…

In Rome, it’s the bus ride from Hell. In Prague, it’s the sidewalk push ups. In Salzburg, it’s the vending machine beers. The image that will stick with me from IFOBS V Intl Conference in Dublin is of all the Flann Fans drinking in the rain out of their plastic ponchos #flann2019

Delighted to launch, with @DrSBonnerjee, our open access collection on 'Literature, Law and Psychoanalysis' @openlibhums with an amazing essay on Patrick Hamilton and Neville Heath by @verbivorial. Do check it out; more essays coming soon! olh.openlibhums.org/collections/sp…

Must-not-miss programming for those still reeling from Louis de Paor's outstanding closing keynote address at last week's #Flann2019 conference 👀
