THE PASSING OF DALKEY ARCHIVE PRESS

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.

BEFORE SACRED--- WE MAY FEEL WHAT IS BEAUTIFUL, GOOD, EVEN SIGNIFICANT.  BUT NEVER WHAT IS REALLY GREAT, WHAT IS REALLY SACRED.
