About this product
Product Information
In the tradition of Flann O'Brien's comic Irish extravaganzas, Desmond MacNamara's novel is a hilarious excursion into Irish history and literature. A gentleman named Mountmellik and his servant MacGilla escape from the Limbo where characters from unfinished literary works are trapped, and enjoy life on Earth so much that they summon from Limbo other literary characters: a young woman named Loreto Amargamente (from an unfinished story by F. Scott Fitzgerald), an Irish maiden named Liadin (from George Moore's unrealized historical novel), and, most terrifying, the eight-feet-tall Eevell of Craglee, Queen of the Munster Hosts of Fairy. These five hatch a scheme by which they can spring more characters from literary Limbo and, by finishing and publishing their stories, send them to Parnassus, all the while holding the author captive so that they themselves won't be forced to go. But during a bizarre climax, the author escapes and sends this novel to his publisher, immortalizing them against their will. Throughout the novel are yarns, digressions, and speculations, the centerpiece being a forty-page retelling of the story of the legendary Irish poets Curither and Liadin. Like O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds, it mixes the glorious Irish literary past with its messy present and has a good deal of fun at the expense of the novel as an art form.

Seller promptly sent. This was a historical documentary DVD. There is scant item detail on the listing on the sellers site which should say for example if there is any subtitles on this Bruneval Raid DVD which there are none which is a real shame as the speech is often hard to follow. The listing should be improved. It is a new copy DVD.

Book was listed as new but was either used or was badly stored as arrived with damaged edges all over. Not ideal for a present.

Bought as a very, very early Christmas present for my wife, who is a 'Corrie' fan. Think this possibly the earliest have ever bought for Xmas. A good price, and arrived excellently packed, in secure cardboard / box style. Obviously was in no hurry so postage time not relevant. Came from Ireland and included a bank holiday so quite satisfied with the time taken on post. Would recommend this seller, thank you.
