Did you know that Dalkey Archive, publisher of some of our favorite meme books (by the likes of Gaddis, Gass, Schmidt, etc.), was actually named after a novel?
Enter The Dalkey Archive, by Flann O'Brien. O'Brien (real name Brian O'Nolan) is an important Irish novelist and key figure in the transition from high modernism to post-modernism, and is regarded by many as a successor to Joyce, comparable with Beckett. You might know him better for At Swim-Two-Birds or The Third Policeman.
We'll be reading The Dalkey Archive over the next week. Come join us!

Book has some funny Joyce memes, but it's not as good as At Swim-Two-Birds or The Third Policeman (or even The Poor Mouth).

Here's a fun fact. It's pronounced dock-ie. Or at least that's what my Irish dad tells me.

Waidup is there another way to pronounce it?
Brazillian here, serious question.
>>9270223
You could pronounce it phonetically. Like I did until corrected.
