O'Brien's novels are often lumped together with which other Irish writer of the same era?

  • W.B. Yeats

  • Oscar Wilde

  • James Joyce

  • George Bernard Shaw

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.
