11 Tegengif (At
Swim-Two-Birds) (1939)
Flann O'Brien (Strabane 5/10/1911 - Dublin 1/4/1966)
Inleiding: Bas 23/1/1981
One Beginning and one ending for
a book was a thing I did not agree with. A good book may have three openings entirely
dissimiliar and inter-related only in the prescience of the author, or for that matter
one hundred times as many endings.

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on
which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained
gently-behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: Introibo
ad altare Dei.

"THE BOTTOMS" succeeded to "Hell Row". Hell Row was a block
of thatched, bulging cottages that stood by the brookside on Greenhill Lane. There
lived the colliers who worked in the little gin-pits two fields away.
