No Laughing Matter: The Life and Times of Flann OBrien was the first full-length biography of Flann OBrien, published in 1989. Rich in background, anecdote, and social history, it is an extraordinary portrait of a writer and his times, perceptive, sympathetic, and authoritative. Flann OBrien (aka Brian ONolan) was born in Tyrone in 1911 and worked as a civil servant for many years. He also developed an alter ego, Myles na Gopaleen, whose satirical column in The Irish Times soon acquired legendary status. At Swim-Two-Birds, his first novel, appeared in 1939 and was praised by James Joyce, Graham Greene, Dylan Thomas, and others. His second novel, The Third Policeman, failed to find a publisher at the time but has since been acknowledged as one of the most important novels to come out of Ireland in the twentieth century. With a foreword by acclaimed author Kevin Barry and striking redesign, No Laughing Matter is an undisputed classic of Irish literary biography.
