Review of <em>Myles na gCopaleen agus Flann O’Brien: An Saol Bocht </em>by Brian Ó Conchubhair (Indreabhán: Leabhar Breac, 2025)

Myles na gCopaleen agus Flann O’Brien: An Saol Bocht is the first book-length biography of Flann O'Brien in over 30 years. Brian Ó Conchubhair has crafted a rigourously researched narrative that adds to our knowledge of O'Brien by incorporating new archival material. The scope of archival material and scholarly commentary included means that we now have a biography of Flann O'Brien equal in depth and length to those produced for other prominent Irish literary figures. Ó Conchubhair's work adeptly weaves together Irish and English-language sources to produce the most thorough exploration of O'Brien's life to date.
