  Dalkey Archive Press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dalkey Archive Press is a small publisher of fiction, poetry, and literary criticism, specializing in the publication or republication of obscure and out-of-print works, particularly contemporary literature.
Founded in Chicago in 1984 by John O'Brien, the Dalkey Archive began as an adjunct press to the literary magazine Review of Contemporary Fiction, itself dedicated to highlighting writers that were overlooked by the mainstream critical establishment.
Modeled on such publishers as Grove Press and New Directions, the Dalkey Archive's emphasis is decidedly upon so-called literary works, usually of a modernist or postmodernist bent.

 Dalkey Archive Press - The Daily Vidette - E-Zone
Dalkey came into existence at ISU ten years ago when the English department chair brought the press to the English department, Angela Weaser, associate director, said.
Wherever it is located, Dalkey is at the forefront of what is possible in the world of literature, and the press has made and kept available fine works of literature and worked to create a certain type of literary community.
O’Brien explained Dalkey is different from most mainstream publishers because these editors must generally consider two criteria — the book’s quality and its potential to sell.

 In the Penny Arcade: Stories (American Literature (Dalkey Archive))   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Dalkey Archive Press brings back into print Millhauser's classic and acclaimed stories in their American Literature series.
The imagery alone is stunning, but coupled with Millhauser's insights into human flights and foibles, these fictions hold both truth and a surreal, disturbing beauty.
After the success of his first novels (Edwin Mullhouse and Portrait of a Romantic), Steven Millhauser went on to enchant critics and readers with two short story collections that captured the magic and beauty of his longer works in vivid miniature.

 In the Dalkey Archive
Hop on the Internet and visit the website of the Dalkey Archive Press, the site of perhaps the most quietly subversive publisher in the country.
But Dalkey doesn't just publish old books by non–American writers — it's also the home for numerous American authors, including many still in their prime, thank you very much.
And yet, interestingly enough, the press is doing better than ever, thanks precisely to the fact that mainstream publishers have adopted a repulsion similar to that of chain booksellers to books that are truly edgy or subversive, artistically or otherwise.

 Felipe Alfau: Introduction -text only
Last year I learned that Dalkey Archive Press had published a Spanish writer, born in Barcelona in 1902, whom neither I nor anyone I knew had ever heard of.
What remains are the splendid novels, novels that took nearly half a century to gain recognition, well past the time when Alfau could rejoice in their success.
He was, as Dalkey Archive’s Steven Moore (the editor who discovered Alfau) says, "bemused" at his rediscovery, but for Alfau: "It would have interested me much more when I was younger.

 reVIEW : Miller
Reading Pack Of Lies, Dalkey Archive’s 1997 collection of Sorrentino’s trilogy of eighties novels, Odd Number, Rose Theatre, and Misterioso, is likely to generate more questions about Sorrentino’s fiction than answers.
Dalkey Archive’s binding of these books together allows us to reassess the many interconnections between the tangled and deracinated plotlines of novels that some readers and critics have called "plotless," the parallels and contradictions between characters, even the same jokes told in different variations.
The effect is altered in the 1996 Dalkey Archive edition which prints these pages without "colorization" for probable monetary reasons and the opening correspondence feels more like a pre-credits opening scene than a coming attractions sequence.

 Books | Bitter somethings
Night is published by the Dalkey Archive Press, a small American publishing house, based in Illinois, which has two great advantages over most publishers: it is independent and not run for profit.
But the press's greatest achievement is its promotion of contemporary novels which would struggle to find a place in the bestseller-obsessed lists of most publishers.
Without the Dalkey Archive Press, these books would be unavailable in English.

I told him yes, we'd love to (at that time Dalkey's editor John O'Brien trusted my judgement on such matters, even though Young wasn't his type of author), so I called Marguerite (the friend had supplied her phone number) and sure enough she agreed.
I told her Dalkey didn't have much money to pay for an advance--especially considering the astronomical printing bill that would result--but she said she'd waive the advance as long as we agreed to publish it the way she wanted it; in two volumes.
I had to go to NYC for business in the summer of 1992, so the Oxford Univ. Press arranged for me to meet Marguerite at a restaurant in the West Village near her apartment.
