RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 The origins of Flann O'Brien's "At Swim-Two-Birds" A1 Asensio Peral, Germán A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid K1 Filología Inglesa AB Flann O’Brien’s first novel, At Swim-Two-Birds, published in 1939, has generally been considered as O’Brien’s masterpiece due to its spontaneous narration and experimental technique. However, its origins and process of composition have not undergone sufficient examination. This paper explores the origins of At Swim-Two-Birds by means of the analysis of O’Brien’s literary production pre-At Swim-Two-Birds, searching for connections between the novel and O’Brien’s earlier work. It aims to demonstrate that the ideas and contents of At Swim-Two-Birds had been present in O’Brien’s mind long before he started writing the novel.
