IT WOULD HAVE been Irish writer Flann O’Brien’s (aka Brian O’Nolan, ) 101st birthday today.

Sound of Google to give him his own doodle for his birthday:

O Brien/O’Nolan, who was born in Strabane in Co. Tyrone is best known for his works At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman. He also wrote a satirical column for The Irish Times called Cruiskeen Lawn.
