Is there a Flann O'Brien biography you'd recommend?

I'd love to read a biography of him having enjoyed some of his works. Are there many on the market and any you'd particularly recommend?

There's only one I know of and it's No Laughing Matter by, as CaoimH_in said, Anthony Cronin.

It's excellent.

And very sad in parts. The drink can be a terrible thing.

Agree entirely with the aboves. Read all of O'Brien''s work and No Laughing Matter by Cronin: it's the definitive one and I'd highly recommend it.
