Publisher's Synopsis

This work applies Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of literary discourse and the concept of ""carnivalisation"" to the work of Flann O'Brien. The author emphasises the political and social implications of the writings, arguing that O'Brien maintained a reflexive focus on language throughout his career.
