Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
O'Brien's wicked satire on the life of Irish peasant Bonaparte O'Coonassa was published in Gaelic in 1941 and translated into English in 1964. This edition contains illustrations by Ralph Steadman. A good companion to the MacNamara novel reviewed above.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Boston Globe
"O'Brien was one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century. . . . The Poor Mouth is wildly funny and Steadman's drawings catch the spirit."
