Synopsis
At Swim-Two-Birds is a 1939 novel by Irish author Brian O'Nolan, writing under the pseudonym Flann O'Brien. It is widely considered to be O'Brien's masterpiece, and one of the most sophisticated examples of metafiction. The novel's title derives from Snámh dá Én, a possibly apocryphal place on the river Shannon, reportedly visited by the legendary King Sweeney, a character in the novel.
