The Saga of Slattery's Sago is the posthumous novel by Irish writer Flann O'Brien. In this amusing satire, O'Brien presents us with a story that criticizes customs, bizarre scientism, and broken philanthropy, approaching the style of Jonathan Swift. Through a pilgrim food revolution, the author caricatures the moralistic forms of Protestantism, exploring the relations between Ireland and the United States. An unfinished work that has all the charm of happy promises.
Brian O'Nolan, whose pen names included Flann O'Brien, was an Irish Civil Service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, who is now considered a major figure in twentieth-century Irish literature. Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. His four English-language novels, At Swim-Two-Birds (1939), The Hard Life (1961), The Dalkey Archive (1964) and The Third Policeman (1967), were published under the pen name Flann O'Brien. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish-language novel, An Béal Bocht (1941), were written under the name Myles na gCopaleen.
