B/c he's a Freemason. So you've only heard of him b/c of his connections.

yea if you're not referring to Flann as a part of the big three then get on that
Heaney is great and so is Sean O'Casey even though you asked for novelists read them anyway

Novelists, I meant Joyce, Beckett and O'Brien.

Amongst Women by John McGahern is worth reading. Very quick read too so you can't really go wrong.
