In ''The Guardian'' feature "My Hero", [[John Banville]] chose O'Brien, writing: "O’Brien was a philistine as well as a consummate prose stylist, an artist who threw away his talent, a Catholic who allowed himself to drift into the sin of despair, and a great comic sensibility thwarted and shrivelled by emotional self-denial. He would have laughed at the notion of being anybody’s hero."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Banville |first=John |date=April 1, 2016 |title=My hero: Flann O'Brien |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/apr/01/my-hero-flann-o-brien-by-john-banville}}</ref>
