Rent At Swim, Two Boys

Synopsis

The title of this Irish epic refers to Flann O'Brien's brilliant comic novel AT SWIM-TWO-BIRDS (1939), and the story, set in Dublin, involves the widowed Boer War veteran Arthur Mack and his adolescent son, James, who is drawn into a plot by his friend--and eventual lover--Doyler Doyle to swim to a nearby island and plant a flag in order to make a statement about Irish independence. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.
