It has been reported that Dalkey Archive Press has died.
Founded in 1984 in Elmwood Park, Illinois, USA, by John Thomas O’Brien, the
press at its moment of passing had three offices in London, Dublin and
Champaign, Illinois, USA with a small staff out of proportion to its great
mission.
Details of the passing are few in availability but more are
due.
Provincial newspapers please copy.
