Its streets are narrow, not quite self-evident as streets and with meetings which seem accidental.
Dalkey looks like an humble settlement which must, a traveller feels, be next door to some place of the first importance and distinction.

 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.

"The Dalkey Archive" is O'Brien's fifth and final novel -- in the author's words, "a study in derision".
Set in the late 1940s in the village of Dalkey (some twelve miles south of Dublin), "The Dalkey Archive" joins O'Brien's renowned comic works At Swim-two-birds, The Third Policeman, et al, as among the great works of Irish fiction of the century.

 Flann O'Brien Manuscripts and Criticism
The outbreak of World War II drew attention away from what is arguably O'Nolan's major literary achievement, but he continued his newspaper column and wrote other novels: AN BEAL BOCHT (THE POOR MOUTH), THE HARD LIFE, THE DALKEY ARCHIVE, and the posthumously-published THE THIRD POLICEMAN, actually written in 1940.
The first of these, Works, embraces the manuscripts of two of his five novels, AT SWIM-TWO-BIRDS and THE DALKEY ARCHIVE, together with manuscript materials relating to his play FAUSTUS KELLY.
Accompanying AT SWIM-TWO-BIRDS are a group of clippings relating to that novel's 1960 republication, together with a note from O'Nolan to Niall Montgomery, dated 21 September 1960.

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.

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.
There doesn't seem any question that Finnegans Wake exerted an influence over the novel; and that Young scholarship during her lifetime was respectful of Young personally to the point of deference; avenues of inquiry that Young insisted were blind alleys were duly left unexplored.
