Literary history and analysis of Dalkey Archive Press’s catalog.
Ross Ufberg (writer, translator, co-founder of New Vessel Press, and author of the new introduction to the forthcoming Dalkey Archive edition of Dead As Doornails) joins Chad and Vince Francone (author of A Book No One Wants) to talk about Anthony Cronin’s memoir of mid-century Ireland and the lives of Brendan Behan, Ralph Cusack, Paddy Kavanagh, Flann O’Brien, and more. It’s a book loaded with a lotta booze and a lotta laughs, and is a wonderful portrait of a particular moment in Irish literary history.
Next month Vince and Chad will be discussing Cadenza by Ralph Cusack.
This episode’s music is “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues.
