With a foreword by acclaimed author Kevin Barry and striking redesign, No Laughing Matter: The Life and Times of Flann O'Brien is an undisputed classic of Irish literary biography.

Since the original version of Anthony Cronin’s classic sequence, The End of the Modern World, first appeared in 1989, it has been acclaimed as one of the most singular achievements in twentieth-century Irish poetry.

A sublime and vibrant new collection from one of Ireland’s best known poets.

Cronin’s is a major voice: he is Ireland’s modern Dryden, a master of the public word in the public place.' - The Irish Times
