Summary	The story of a young, indolent undergraduate, who lives with his curmudgeonly uncle in Dublin and spends far too much time drinking with his friends. When not drunk or in bed he likes to invent wild stories peopled with hilarious and unlikely characters - but somehow his creations just won't do what he wants them to. A dazzling, impressionistic jumble of farce, satire, mythology and nonsense that gives full rein to its author's dancing intellect and Celtic wit. "At Swim-Two-Birds" is both a brilliant comic send-up of Irish literature and culture, and a portrayal of Dublin to compare with Joyce's "Ulysses".
