Autobiographical reminiscence, part the first:
I retired to the couch of a day several past to begin reading At Swim-Two-Birds. First thoughts of said tome were indistinct, as the volume concerns itself rather narrowly with parodying Irish literature and culture, of which I have numerous intellectual gaps. Nevertheless, I persevered.
Nature of perseverance: dogged, curious, expectant.
Conclusion of the foregoing.
Excerpt from the Press on Steve Johnson attempting to read Flann O'Brian:
Today area man Steve Johnson began reading Flann O'Brian's novel, At Swim-Two-Birds. When asked how he was enjoying the novel, Mr. Johnson replied, "it seems to be much to do about three things: Finn MacCool, porter, and sleep."
