Year: 2025
Type: book-review
Abstract: Flann O’Brien and the Nonhuman: Environments, Animals, Machines, edited by Katherine Ebury, Paul Fagan and John Greaney, contributes to the growing scholarship concerning Brian O'Nolan's 'transcorporeal imagination' with an impressive collection of essays. Offering insights into a vast array of topics—from bicycles to the atmosphere, parasites to the act of becoming-imperceptible—Flann O’Brien and the Nonhuman proves equal parts ambitious and exciting: a collection that will doubtless pave the way for further work within an area of O’Brien studies clearly rich in potential.
