Abstract

Tobias Harris, John Wyse Jackson, and Thomas O’Donnell offer a first attempt at a translation of Brian O’Nolan’s ‘Pisa Bec Oc Parnabus,’ based on the version of the text which was published in Ireland To-day in February 1938. The text itself is a pastiche of James Joyce’s Work in Progress and it combines Irish which is sourced from various periods and dialects with neologisms and Greek, Latin, and English materials.
