This extremely funny book, with its rain-sodden peasants of Corca Dhorcha who combine pretensions to proficiency in English with true caint na ndaoine in the hope of impressing the insatiable Irish-language enthusiasts, was the proof that the Irish of the Revival had come of age. It earned Flann O’Brien the accolade of “our Gaelic satirist”, bestowed upon him by Austin Clarke, and is still a useful corrective against the native tendency to take things too seriously.
