F R O N T L I S T 1 9 9 5 FOREIGN PARTS a novel Janice Galloway What begins as a driving holiday in northern France for two Scotswomen turns into a caustic and often funny account of dysfunctional relationships -- both between men and women and between women friends. Cassie and Rona -- in their late thirties, both single and childless -- are on each other's nerves from the moment they cross the Channel: Cassie is testy and cynical, Rona patient and plodding. Both are self-conscious of the fact they seem to fit the stereotype of two "spinsters" linked by loneliness and consequently rebel against the notion that a woman needs a man to feel "complete." Faced with the dilemma of "fancying men and not liking them very much," the women ponder alternatives as they endure one tourist nightmare after another. Upon its publication in England last year, _Foreign Parts_ was acclaimed by the _Sunday Telegraph_ as "a road movie for feminists . . . a funny, sharp and gutsy portrayal of female friendship." The _Listener_ called _Foreign Parts_ "a painstakingly crafted, multi- layered investigation of contemporary female experience" and the _Times Literary Supplement_ described it as "inventive and darkly funny. . . . That this enjoyable novel wears its complexity and depth so lightly is an indication of [Galloway's] ambition, control and remarkable craft." _Foreign Parts_ won a Scottish Arts Council Book Award and the McVitie's Prize.Janice Galloway is one of Scotland's pre-eminent fiction writers, praised by the _Glasgow Herald_ as "one of the most compelling novelists writing today." She has received numerous awards for her work, most recently the American Academy of Arts E.M. Forster Award ($12,000). Her collection of stories, _Blood_, was published in the U.S. by Random House and was named a_New York Times_ Notable Book of the Year. Her first novel, _The Trick Is to Keep Breathing_, was published last year by Dalkey in hardcover and will be released in paperback this season. She lives in Glasgow with her young son. _______________ FICTION 5.5 x 8.5 / 262 pages $12.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-082-1 SEPTEMBER * A bittersweet novel about female friendships NOBODADDY'S CHILDREN a trilogy Arno Schmidt Translated by John E. Woods This trilogy of novels traces life in Germany from the Nazi era through the postwar years and into an apocalyptic future. _Scenes from the Life of a Faun_ recounts the dreary life of a government worker who escapes the banality of war by researching the exploits of a deserter from the Napoleonic Wars nicknamed The Faun. (First published in English in 1983 by Marion Boyars, it has been thoroughly revised by the translator for this new edition.) _Brand's Heath_ deals with the chaos of the immediate postwar period as a writer joins a small community of "survivors" to try to forge anew life. _Dark Mirrors_ is set in a future where civilization has been virtually destroyed; the narrator fears he may be the last man on earth, until the discovery of another creates new fears. All three novels are characterized by Schmidt's unique combination of sharply observed details, sarcastic asides, and wide erudition. _Nobodaddy's Children_ follows upon the success of Schmidt's _Collected Novellas_, published by Dalkey in 1994 and the first of a four-volume series that the _New York Times_ calls "little short of heroic." Arno Schmidt (1914-79) published over two dozen books of fiction, criticism, and translations in his lifetime. Along with Heinrich Boell and Gunther Grass, he is considered one of the most important and influential writers of postwar Germany. John E. Woods has won prizes and critical acclaim for his previous translations of Schmidt, including a nomination for the PEN Translation Prize for _Collected Novellas_ in March. He has also published new translations of Thomas Mann's major novels. He lives in San Diego. _______________ FICTION 6 x 9 / 260 pages $13.95 paper ($32 cloth) ISBN 1-56478-090-2 (083-X cloth) DECEMBER *A trilogy of novels by "the German James Joyce" PHOSPHOR IN DREAMLAND a novel Rikki Ducornet The _Jade Cabinet_, Rikki Ducornet's previous novel (and a runner- up for the National Book Critics Circle Award), was described by one reviewer as"Jane Austen meets Angela Carter via Lewis Carroll." Ducornet's dazzling new novel, _Phosphor in Dreamland_, might be described as Jonathan Swift meets Angela Carter via Jorge Luis Borges. Set on the Caribbean island of Birdland, the novel takes the form of a series of letters from a current resident to an old friend in Australia, describing the island's tumultuous 17th- century history. It's a story that is by turns dark and comic, with the nefarious deeds of the Inquisition and the thoughtless extinction of the island's more exotic fauna alternating with the amorous story of a foundling named Nuo Alfa y Omega, nicknamed Phosphor (who invents a prototype of the camera), and his beloved, Professor Tardanza's daughter,of whose inflaming form he sings in his overheated poetry. As he unfolds this exotic tale, the narrator drops hints about his beloved, Polly, the natural history museum's new artist (whose drawings of the recently uncovered Venus of Birdland and other archaeological delights are reproduced in a portfolio at the end of the novel). An ecological parable,a meditation on the power (and misuse) of images and words, a celebration of creativity and eroticism, _Phosphor in Dreamland_ is Ducornet at her magical best. Rikki Ducornet was born in New York, attended Bard College, and after living in North Africa, Canada, and France for many years now lives in Colorado, where she teaches creative writing at the University of Denver.She is the author of four previous novels, six books of poetry, and a collection of short fiction. _______________ FICTION 5.5 x 8.5 / 192 pages $12.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-084-8 OCTOBER * An exotic novel set on a fictitious Caribbean island in the 17th century THE QUEEN OF THE PRISONS OF GREECE a novel Osman Lins Translated by Adria Frizzi This is the last novel of one of the most innovative Brazilian writers of the century. It takes the form of an anonymous high school science teacher's journal about an unpublished novel written by his deceased lover, a young woman named Julia Marquezim Enone. Her novel's central character, Maria da Frana, is a destitute and mentally unstable woman at odds with the Brazilian social welfare system, from which she is trying to claim benefits for time spent in a psychiatric hospital. The journal represents the science teacher's attempt to understand Julia's novel and, in the process, Julia herself and the relationship they once shared. Both Julia's novel and Lins's are named after Ana, a thief (whom Maria reads about in the newspaper) whose ability to elude the law by flight or wit has earned her the nickname "the queen of the prisons of Greece" in her native land.Thus the novel functions as a meditation on literary creation, a work of social criticism, and a love story. First published in Brazil in 1976, it has been praised as the crowning achievement of Lins's career. Osman Lins (1924-1978) is best known in this country for the novel _Avalovara_ (Knopf, 1980). He was the recipient of many literary prizes and his work has been translated into a half-dozen foreign languages. Adria Frizzi has studied at the Universita Cattolica in Milan, Penn State,and the University of Texas at Austin, where she currently teaches Italian. _______________ FICTION 5.5 x 8.5 / 192 pages $12.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-056-2 NOVEMBER *The final novel by one of Latin America's leading novelists THE MAKING OF AMERICANS FOREWORD BY WILLIAM H. GASS, INTRODUCTION BY STEVEN MEYER Gertrude Stein On the seventieth anniversary of its first publication, an unabridged edition of Stein's monumental _Making of Americans_ is once again available after having been out of print for years. Written between 1906 and 1911 and widely regarded as one of the most important works of the modernist period, Stein set out to tell "a history of a family's progress" (as the subtitle reads). Her epic begins with the migration of Europeans to America, and then focuses on two contrasting families: the Dehnings of the East Coast and the Herslands of the West Coast (both modeled on branches of Stein's own family), exploring in detail what "makes" an American and attempting through a study of personality types to create "a history of every one whoever can or is or was or will be living." As the history progresses over three generations, Stein radically reworks the traditional family saga novel to accommodate her vision of personality and psychological relationships, while at the same time meditating on her writing as well -- her "making" of _The Making of Americans_. Celebrated essayist and novelist William H. Gass has written a forward to this new edition, and Stein scholar Steven Meyer offers in his introduction various strategies for reading this magnum opus. Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) is one of the most innovative American writers of the modernist period, and she wrote in multiple genres. Her numerous books are available from a variety of publishers, big and small: last year Dalkey reissued _A Novel of Thank You_. _______________ FICTION 6 x 8 / 925 pages $16.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-088-0 DECEMBER * A new unabridged edition of Stein's masterpiece MULLIGAN STEW a novel Gilbert Sorrentino Widely regarded as Sorrentino's finest achievement, _Mulligan Stew_ takes as its subject the comic possibilities of the modern literary imagination. As avant-garde novelist Antony Lamont struggles to write a "new wave murder mystery," his frustrating emotional and sexual life wreaks havoc on his work-in-progress. As a result, his narrative (the very book we are reading)turns into a literary "stew": an uproariously funny melange of journal entries, erotic poetry, parodies of all kinds, love letters, interviews, and lists -- as Hugh Kenner in Harper's wrote, "for another such virtuoso of the List you'd have to resurrect Joyce." Soon, Lamont's characters (on loan from F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flann O'Brien, James Joyce, and Raymond Chandler) take on lives of their own, completely sabotaging his narrative. Sorrentino has vastly extended the possibilities of what a novel can be in this extraordinary work, which both parodies and pays homage to the art of fiction. "_Mulligan Stew_ is utterly dazzling," said the _Washington Post_ upon its original publication in 1979. The _New York Times_ agreed, calling it "an abundant and extravagantly decorated display of the pleasures of the imagination." Gilbert Sorrentino, born in Brooklyn in 1929, is the author of thirteen novels (many available from Dalkey Archive) as well as books of poetry and criticism. He is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, most recently a Lannan Foundation Literary Award; he teaches at Stanford University. _______________ FICTION 6 x 9 / 446 pages $13.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-087-2 JANUARY * A comic novel about the literary imagination THE STAIN a novel Rikki Ducornet Upon _The Stain_'s original publication in 1984, Robert Nye in the _Guardian_ described it as "the most brilliant first novel that I have read in years." The _London Times_ called it "a powerful nightmare vision," and Angela Carter praised it as "a riotous extravaganza, comic, melodramatic and touching, that goes over the top time and time again but never loses its antic grace and sure sense of place -- rural France, part cesspit and part Paradise." Ducornet's long unobtainable first novel is the first in her acclaimed Tetralogy of Elements (followed by _Entering Fire_ [City Lights], _The Fountains of Neptune_, and _The Jade Cabinet_ [both Dalkey Archive]). The element that rules this novel is earth, and the conflict is between earthly lusts and unearthly fantasies of sainthood. In pungent prose that captures the fetid atmosphere of fanatical Catholicism, Ducornet tells the story of a young girl named Charlotte, branded with a furry birthmark in the shape of a dancing hare, which in her time and place (19th-century France) is regarded as the mark of Satan. The village exorcist is called in to save her soul, though it soon becomes obvious he has other ends in mind. In this bawdy tale of perversion, power, possession, and the rape of innocence, Ducornet weaves an intricate design of fantasy and reality, at once surreal, hilarious, and terrifying. _______________ FICTION 5.5 x 8.5 / 223 pages $11.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-085-6 OCTOBER * Religious hysteria in 19th-century France THE TRICK IS TO KEEP BREATHING a novel Janice Galloway Now available in paperback, Dalkey's hardcover edition of Galloway's inventive novel was described by the _New York Times_ as "_Tristram Shandy_ as rewritten by Sylvia Plath" and by the _Chicago Tribune_ as "an amazing first novel." An exploration of the widespread problem of female depression, _The Trick is to Keep Breathing_ is about a 27-year-old drama teacher named Joy Stone who has come undone: the problems of everyday life accumulate and begin to torment Joy, who blames her problems not on her work or on the accidental drowning death of her illicit lover, but on herself. Clutching at the wrong things, she eventually learns that the trick is to find those things that let life go on. While painful and deeply serious, this is a novel of great warmth and energy, described by _Ms. Magazine_ as "poignant and original." The wit and irony found in moments of despair prove to be Joy's salvation and add an authentic new voice to women's writing. The _Listener_ said that from its"brilliant title to closing injunction, _The Trick Is to Keep Breathing_ hums with intelligence, clarity, wit." Janice Galloway's second novel, _Foreign Parts_, is being published this season by Dalkey. _______________ FICTION 5.5 x 8.5 / 236 pages $11.95 paper ISBN 1-56478-081-3 SEPTEMBER * An inventive novel about female depression WITTGENSTEIN'S MISTRESS AFTERWORD BY STEVEN MOORE David Markson The story of a woman who is convinced that she is the only person left on earth, _Wittgenstein's Mistress_ is one of the few certifiably original fictions of our time. Upon its publication in 1988, a the _Washington Times_ called it "The novel I liked best this year, . . . one dizzying, delightful, funny passage after another. Proof positive that the experimental novel can produce high, pure works of imagination." Presumably the "mistress" of the title is mad; yet her character is so appealing and her narrative voice so witty and seductive that the reader will follow her hypnotically as she unloads the intellectual baggage of a lifetime. In a series of irreverent meditations on everything and everybody from Brahms to sex to Heidegger to Helen of Troy, she contemplates aspects of the troubled past that have brought her to her present state, creating an obvious metaphor for ultimate loneliness. One of Dalkey Archive's most successful novels, _Wittgenstein's Mistress_has gone through two printings in hardcover, and three in paper; it has been issued in Britain and translated into French and Spanish as well. This new edition includes an afterword by critic Steven Moore. David Markson's previous novel, _Springer's Progress_ (also available from Dalkey Archive), was described by the _New York Times_ as "an exuberantly Joycean, yes, Joycean celebration," with "brilliant" and "multilayered" language. The summer 1991 issue of the _Review of Contemporary Fiction_ was devoted to his work. _______________ FICTION 5.5 x 8.5 / 256 pages $11.95 paper ISBN 0-916583-50-3 SEPTEMBER *A new edition of Markson's most popular novel RYDER AFTERWORD BY PAUL WEST Djuna Barnes When it was first published in 1928, Djuna Barnes's _Ryder_, a bawdy mock-Elizabethan chronicle of a family very much like her own, was described in the _Saturday Review_ as "the most amazing book ever written by a woman."One of modern literature's first and best denunciations of patriarchal repression, _Ryder_ employs an exuberant prose by which narrator Julie Ryder derides her hated father, polygamous Wendell Ryder. Barnes satirizes masculinity and domesticity by way of parable, poem, and play, and a prose style that echoes Chaucer, Shakespeare, the Bible, and Robert Burton's _Anatomy of Melancholy_. This third printing of Dalkey Archive's edition of _Ryder_, which contains several of Barnes's previously suppressed illustrations, coincides with Dalkey's August 1995 release of Barnes's original version of _Nightwood_. Djuna Barnes (1892-1982) is best known as the author of _Nightwood_, one of the finest novels of the modernist period. She published works in virtually every genre: short stories, poetry, journalism, drama, and pastiche, and often illustrated her works with her own drawings. _Ladies Almanack_, Barnes's 1928 satire, is also available from Dalkey. _______________ FICTION 6 x 9 / 250 pages $11.95 paper ISBN 0-916583-55-4 SEPTEMBER * A satire on domesticity and masculinity C O M P L E T E B A C K L I S T A N D S U B J E C T I N D E X FICTION: AMERICAN Alfau, Felipe.

NEWS FROM DALKEY ARCHIVE Last season's catalog led off with our proud announcement of having acquired Janice Galloway's wonderful second novel, _Foreign Parts_ (see p.3). Since then, she has gone on to win the Scottish Arts Council Book Award and the 1994 McVitie's Prize (#10,000) as Scottish Writer of the Year. John E. Wood's translation of Arno Schmidt's _Collected Novellas_, which we published in the autumn of 1994, was a runner-up of PEN's translation prize. His translation of the second volume in our Schmidt series, _Nobodaddy's Children_, is featured on p. 5. Once again we are indebted to the Arno Schmidt Stiftung for its financial support for bringing the works of this monumental German writer to an American audience. We join the literary world in mourning James Merrill's death in February at age 68. It had only been a few months earlier that we had reissued his 1965 novel _The (Diblos) Notebook_. He was kind enough to write a warm, witty afterword for our edition, and a few years before that provided a splendid blurb for our edition of Alan Ansen's collected poems, _Contact Highs_. The great Brazilian writer Osman Lins died nearly twenty years ago, but forthcoming publishing activity should keep his name alive. This fall Dalkey is publishing a translation of his last novel, _The Queen of the Prisons of Greece_ (see p. 7), and is devoting part of the fall 1995 issue of the _Review of Contemporary Fiction_ to an examination of his work. (The special issue includes a segment from the novel Lins was working on at the time of his death, _The Head Carried in Triumph_). Sun & Moon Press is publishing a translation of Lins's brilliant short story collection, _Nine, Novena_. All three works have been translated by Adria Frizzi, a foremost authority on Lins and a sensitive translator.
