Book review: THE THIRD POLICEMAN by Flann O'Brien
This novel was written around 1940, but was published after the author's death.
It received great attention much later, when the TV series LOST used it as a reference.
THE THIRD POLICEMAN is a comical nightmare about a journey into a surreal, but unmistakably Irish, landscape. What happens there reminds me of Monty Python sketches.
There is a BBC radio adaptation... but it omits the many hilarious footnotes that are scattered throughout the original book. These footnotes refer to a fictional author and crank philosopher, whose works play a part in the plot of THE THIRD POLICEMAN.
Recommended for fans of absurdist humor.

Book review: WAR WITH THE NEWTS by Karel Capek
This is a genuine science fiction classic, and an outstanding work of satire, from the author of R.U.R. and THE ABSOLUTE AT LARGE.
Using a variety of stylistic devices - straightforward narration, found documents, metafiction - WAR WITH THE NEWTS describes the discovery of another intelligent species on Earth (the "Newts")... and how humanity goes about to exploit it.
The Newts are large salamanders, who can be taught human speech and how to use tools. A businessman invests in a scheme to capture specimens and breed the Newts for "mass production" as cheap slave labor. The world is transformed... but also the Newts are changed. The ruthless exploitation of the Newts is clearly meant to remind us of similar treatment of humans (i.e. slavery, bigotry etc.).
It's quite a feat to make such matters funny, and Capek succeeds. The novel is suffused with black humor and dark irony - especially when the Newts turn on mankind.
WAR WITH THE NEWTS is a very modern novel. It could have been written today, or even be an episode of the Netflix series BLACK MIRROR. Highly recommended!
