In Fiction
Eoin McNamee's 2004 novel The Ultras offers a fictionalised but factually-based account of Nairac's life and career. McNamee has said that he had had "the idea of Nairac in my head for a long time, but I wasn't able to find a way into the whole subject. In the end I used him as a conduit to the covert and psychic infrastructure of the time, to the gripping physical and moral texture of what was going on."

—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life.”
