An Astonishing Parade of Nullity (Flann O’Brien’s The Third Policeman)

The boys hop on their three person tandem bike to pedal their way through the spinning wheels of Flann O'Brien's dark comedy The Third Policeman. They debate the novel's genre (sci fi? fantasy? existential tragicomedy?) and explore its fascination with particle physics, theology, and, of course, whether or not bikes can turn into humans and vice versa.

Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza.
