Bookseller Notes

This is O'Brien's second published novel in English, preceded by 'At Swim-Two-Birds' and the Irish-language 'An Bal Bocht'. Its printed dedication is to Graham Greene ('whose own forms of gloom I admire, this misterpiece') - whose praise, at length, adorned the dustjacket of his debut and is also cited at the opening of the blurb here.
