Flann O’Brien and modernism

curious about using contemporary theorists such as Lacan, Derrida, Kristeva or Žižek to examine (or indeed “assemble”) the writings of an author even as slippery and constantly shifting as O’Brien. Long makes a persuasive case that to do justice to a text as “deliberately, chaotically resistant to clear exposition” as At Swim-Two-Birds, precisely what is needed is a suitably intricate theoretical framework – applied in a manner that is complex, methodical, but ultimately as clear as a bell (11).
