A masterful English translation of 'An Beal Bocht' by Myles na gCopaleen (alias Flann O'Brian, alias Brian O'Nolan), almost certainly the funniest book ever written in Irish and for my money one of the funniest ever written in any language. I wish there were a Chinese writer with the wit, honesty, and ruthlessness to do for Chinese literature and myths of national identity what O'Nolan did for the Irish in this book. The translation merits a special note: Patrick Power does a remarkable job of rendering O'Nolan's Irish into English prose that flawlessly mimics O'Nolan's style in English. Ni bheidh a leitheid aris ann, indeed.
