Answer
James Joyce is often linked to Flann O’Brien's work due to their shared use of stylistic experimentation, humor, and Dublin settings. O’Brien's novels, such as "At Swim-Two-Birds" and "The Third Policeman," exhibit the influence of Joyce's "Ulysses" and "Finnegans Wake" in their intricate wordplay, stream-of-consciousness narratives, and exploration of Irish identity.
