DulwichFox Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes, the book is The Third Policeman.. The Author is Flann O'Brien, aka Brian O'Nolan, aka Myles na gCopaleen.. But Who is the 'fictitious inventor' refered to throughout the book.. ....who is heavily referenced in footnotes in this book, the longest of which takes up the bottom halves of eight pages and ends on a completely different note from the one on which it began. Hint... Just Google.. The Third Policeman ... Foxy...

DulwichFox Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes it is de Selby...Over to you aquarius moon..Note:- In this novel the character is known as "de Selby", with the latter capital D appearing in use in O'Brien's The Dalkey Archive. 'De Selby' The Third Policeman is a Must read... The Third Policeman is Flann O'Brien's brilliantly dark comic novel about the nature of time, death, and existence. Told by a narrator who has committed a botched robbery and brutal murder, the novel follows him and his adventures in a two-dimensional police station where, through the theories of the scientist/philosopher de Selby, he is introduced to "Atomic Theory" and its relation to bicycles, the existence of eternity (which turns out to be just down the road), and de Selby's view that the earth is not round but "sausage-shaped." With the help of his newly found soul named "Joe," he grapples with the riddles and contradictions that three eccentric policeman present to him.http://www.dalkeyarchive.com/book/?GCOI=15647100503720Foxy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/32323-the-who-am-i-game/page/14/#findComment-652785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
