This casebook investigates Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds. Thomas C. Foster provides an overview and introduction to the novel. M. Keith Booker’s “Postmodern and/or Postcolonial?: The Politics of At Swim-Two-Birds” focuses on O'Brien's use of "popular" culture, including a mobilization of both American popular culture and Irish mythology. Monique Gallagher writes on “Frontier Instability in At Swim-Two-Birds,” in which she discusses O'Brien's destabilizing strategies in the novel. Kelly Anspaugh’s “Agonizing with Joyce” examines the Oedipal conflicts with Joyce that inform the novel’s intertextuality.
