"A journey is an hallucination|" Flann O'Brien's "The Third Policeman"

<p> Flann O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s novel, <i>The Third Policeman </i>, consists of many seemingly unrealistic events, thus sharing similarities with the fantastic piece, <i>Alice&rsquo;s Adventures in Wonderland. </i> The events and characters within O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s storyline obtain no source of reason, leading to another wonderland. However, if particular components of the novel are studied further, and in relation to the aftereffects of trauma, O&rsquo;Brien&rsquo;s work is more realistic and logical than what is fantastically portrayed on the text&rsquo;s surface.</p>
