Testing This Sucka Out

I'm sure this blog will stay dead until this week's episode airs, which, from what I've heard, is a Locke-centric episode -- always the best.

Found this on thetailsection.com:


"An obscure independent book will be featured at a pivotal moment in s02e03: Orientation. The expected surge in interest prompted Amazon.com to stock up; so this is a great time to get your mitts on a copy so you can try to find out the significance of the book to the Lost storyline.

A 1999 reprint of the comic novel "The Third Policeman" by Flann O'Brien, an Irish writer who died in 1966 -- "will be prominently featured at a key moment" in Lost: ORIENTATION (S02E03) this season of "Lost," says Craig Wright, who wrote the script with Javier Grillo-Marxuach."

Here's Amazon's summary:

"Fiction. The last of O'Brien's novels to be published and now reissued by Dalkey Archive, THE THIRD POLICEMAN is Flann O'Brien's brilliant comic novel about the nature of time, death, and existence. Told by a narrator who has committed a botche d robbery and brutal murder, the novel follows him and his adventures in a two-dimensional police station where he is intruduced to 'Atomic Theory' and its relation to bicycles, the existence of eternity (which turns out to be just down the road), and the view that the earth is not round but 'sausage-shaped.'"

Interesting. Have a good week!
