CW: suicide. Here’s a personal essay about my brother’s death in 2023. It’s meant to reject the shame and denial bound up with suicide, and to advocate for early therapeutic intervention. My thanks to Esquire & to editor Ryan D’Agostino for his support and insight 🙏🏻 www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a6...

I did not love him in spite of his suffering; I loved him more deeply because of it.

FIRE THE BASTARDS was originally published by Jack Green as a series of scorching pamphlets in the 1960s. A vicious, black-comedy assault on the literary establishment, and the way that they had failed William Gaddis and his novel, THE RECOGNITIONS (1/3)

Originally submitted under the title KEEPER OF THE GHOSTS, a phrase swiped from Malcolm Lowry, David Markson’s sophisticated and experimental WITTGENSTEIN’S MISTRESS is a true Dalkey Archive Essential if ever there was one.

Dalkey Archive is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of poet, writer, mathematician, and prolific member of the Oulipo group, Jacques Roubaud. We were fortunate enough to publish a dozen of his brilliant, and endlessly inventive books.

He will be missed.
