>Still haven’t read it, but I plan to! I picked it up last fall on the recommendation of . . . someone, can’t remember who . . . before I heard about the book’s “cameo” on “Lost” (a TV show I still haven’t seen because . . . it’s a long story). Anyway, you may have heard about the book and its author Flann O’Brien on NPR today in a piece by Jim Ruland. Jim says he’s got a much longer article on O’Brien coming soon in LA Weekly.
