[edit] Critical responses/interpretations

I mentioned briefly that the novel can be interpreted as a metafiction, though I didn't elaborate well on why this is so (the metafiction argument belongs to Keith Hopper, btw). I'm leaving this comment as a reminder to myself to work on it in the future. In general, it would be nice to see other critical responses or interpretations, since The Third Policeman is a fascinating pancake and a conundrum of great incontinence, a phenomenon of the first rarity. - Cobra libre 00:12, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Lost

Apparently a lot of people have been turned on to The Third Policeman by Lost. For me, it was the other way around. When I heard that one of my favourite books played a part in the TV series, I decided to check it out. Anyway, this forum post has a lot of information about the connections between the two.

[edit] Reference in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's comic The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen mentions the police barracks from The Third Policeman as an example of a paranormal phenomenon in Ireland.

Does anybody have a more specific reference for this? I can't say I remember it from my reading of the comic. --Ryano 11:35, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
