A lazy and rarely sober Dublin student lies in bed for days on end, bickering with his cheapskate uncle and - writing a novel. The protagonist of which, a second-rate writer, more than twenty years not inclined to get out of bed, reads only books in green covers and - of course, writes a novel. So bad that the characters begin to take revenge and - write their own novel, the hero of which will be the author who invented them! Protopostmodernist and full of references to the medieval literature of Ireland novel-balaganza "By the Swim-Two-Birds" (1939) - the debut of the author of "The Third Policeman", "Singing Lazarus" and "Dolka's Archive", a hilarious masterpiece, stylistic exuberance of which was admired by James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. This is a new translation of this monument of Irish literature with a detailed linguocultural commentary.
