Brian O'Nolan (Brian Ó Nualláin) who wrote under the names Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen died on 1st April 1966 in Dublin. He is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. O'Brien's novels have attracted a wide following both for their unconventional humour and as prominent examples of modernist metafiction. As a novelist, O'Brien was influenced by James Joyce.

"I'm fighting against Fascism. The most evil thing that's ever happened to the world."
—Jennifer Johnston, The Gates (1973)

After years of reading the Ulster Cycle and teaching the Ulster Cycle and talking about the Ulster Cycle and publishing about the Ulster Cycle, I decided I might as well also blog about the Ulster Cycle, so here it is, my blog about the Ulster Cycle! The introductory post went up today and there will be more coming soon. I hope people will find it interesting and useful. #UlsterCycle #CelticStudies #Mythology #IrishLiterature #Medieval #academia #blog https://ulstercycle.hcommons.org/
