Publisher's Summary
Flann O'Brien's most popular and surrealistic novel concerns an imaginary, hellish village police force and a local murder.
Weird, satirical, and very funny, its popularity has suddenly increased with the mention of the novel in the TV series Lost.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
What the critics say
"If ever a book was brought to life by a reading, it is this presentation of O'Brien's posthumously published classic. Norton individually crafts voices and personalities for each character in such a way that a listener might imagine an entire cast of voice talent working overtime....[He] ties the ribbon on a perfect presentation of this absurd and chilling masterpiece." ( Publishers Weekly)

An underappreciated masterpiece
An underappreciated literary masterpiece and one of the greatest audio books of all time. Jim Norton does a magnificent job as the narrator.

Is it about a bicycle?
It is nearly impossible to say anything about Flann O’Brien’s novel THE THIRD POLICEMAN. The story itself is an impossibility. Its very telling is terrifying. It is an eternal paradox about murder, a bicycle, policemen, a physicist named de Selby, a horse, a women named Pegeen Meers, a black box fit to hold nothing other than Schrödinger’s cat, and a man named John Divney. Jim Norton’s performance is delightful. Listen to it at least three times.
