From The Third Policemen,One of the superb theories of the great scientist De Selby,,,who believed that dark was not an absence of light,,but a substance, Centuries ahead of his time,,,a visionary, I wonder if Flann O Brien was influenced by his fellow Irishman Swift,,the floating island of Laputa in Gullivers Travels

Someone pointed out to swift that laputa means "the whore" in spanish. He said "yes, I know"
