Myles Before Myles is a wonderfully funny selection of writings from the pen of Brian O'Nolan (aka Flann O'Brien, Myles na Gopaleen, George Knowall). In this fun-filled extravaganza he is, above all, an entertainer, a `gas man.' Flann O'Brien is a cult hero whose comic genius has been praised by James Joyce, Graham Greene, Dylan Thomas, and Anthony Burgess. Here is a feast for them all: a book full of the joys of Myles as student, as blatherer, as romancer, as Irishman, as poet. Its reappearance has been well worth waiting for.
