Let's Talk About Ceps
Really getting into The Third Policeman now. The narrator has just been shown MacCruiskeen's collection of beautifully made, ever-diminishing wooden chests. I love the dialogue, it's so mannered and formal but at the same time full of, not exactly malapropisms, but very unusual and un-obvious ways to put things. And the general grammar and syntax has got me reading it to myself in a broad Irish brogue, it's just impossible not to.
I can certainly see why people have said he's a big influence on Robert Rankin. Any RR fans here? It's very silly, quite entertaining though.
