The Dalkey Archive's de Selby.
This man used a pen name taken from Dion Boucicault's The Colleen Lawn to maintain a satirical column called "The Cruiskeen Lawn"; that pen name is also attached to a novel in which encounters like that with the odiferous pig Ambrose convince Bonaparte O'Coonassa to abandon his quest for peasant authenticity . He also wrote a novel in which a student attempts to kill and rob Mr. Mathers and ends up traveling to a land that places extreme importance in bicycles; that man is infatuated with the philosophy of the hero of a later novel, (*) The Dalkey Archive's de Selby. In his first novel, another university student writes a novel at the Red Swan Hotel about western writers Dermot Trellis and Tracy, who gather together that novel's other characters to try to kill their creator. For 10 points, name this pen name of the man also known as Myles na gCopaleen, born Brian O'Nolan, who wrote The Poor Mouth, The Third Policeman, and At-Swim Two Birds.
