"For my purpose it is simplest to call him Myles, as Myles na Gopaleen was the name he is best remembered by for his excursions into the columns of newspapers." - from the Introduction, page v. "Flann O'Brien (Brian O'Nolan, aka Myles na Gopaleen) adopted not only a new name (George Knowall) for these hitherto uncollected pieces, but also a new persona [. . .] he took on the character of the quizzical and enquiring humorist who might be found ina respectable public house in Carlow: erudite, urbane and informative, he is the country cousin of the Myles of Dublin, yet still a facet of the complex character who wrote The Third Policeman and At Swim-Two-Birds." - from dust-jacket blurb.
