- Colbert Bump: The novel was featured prominently in an episode of Lost: over the three weeks following the episode's initial airing, sales of it equalled what they had been in the preceding six years.
- Creator Backlash: After the book failed to find a publisher in the 1940s, O'Nolan apparently decided that it wasn't good enough, or that he didn't like it, and he stuck it in a drawer and claimed to have lost the manuscript. It wasn't published until after his death. He ended up reusing some of it for his final novel The Dalkey Archive, which isn't nearly as highly regarded as The Third Policeman.
