Flann McDonagh

Flann McDonagh is a nephew of Rapture city councilman Bill McDonagh who noticed his disappearance during the time period of the Vanishing. In There's Something in the Sea, he wrote a reply to The Monthly Undergrounder in June 1968 about their article on the Vanishing. He mentions his uncle's connection to Andrew Ryan and suggests that this is the true connection between all those who "vanished".

Fringe Thinking
I'll admit your piece on The Vanishing ("TheOriginal Drop-Outs," June '68) was fascinating butI, for one, can't figure out what the flippin' mystery is.
My uncle vanished during this time period. Now,everyone always claims that the "best and brightest"were taken. That sure doesn't describe my Uncle Bill(unless by the "best and brightest," you mean thebrass fittings he insisted on using in all hisplumbing jobs!) But my sainted uncle does sharesomething in common with many of the other"Vanished." He was one of the hundreds who fellunder the spell of fat-cat Andrew Ryan's B.S. phi-losophy. Ryan was notorious for his screeds againstthe Church, the State and anyone who would rob aman of "the sweat of his brow." It's been clear to mefor a long time that a bunch of these "Ryanist"buffoons — possibly including Ryan himself —packed off to parts unknown and put their"philo$ophy" to the test. My guess? The narcissisticfound out the hard way that self-interest(i.e., "greed") is a lousy foundation for a society.Long may they rot!
