Well-deserved recognition for Dermot Healy fixes him in the canon

Here are two additions to the ongoing reissue of the work of Dermot Healy, novelist, playwright, and poet, each volume edited and introduced by Keith Hopper and Neil Murphy.

The project already includes his Collected Short Stories and his first novel, Fighting with Shadows. The latest volumes were already underway when Healy died suddenly in 2014, aged 66.

Dalkey Archive Press, based in America but also with a Dublin office, is known for its adventurous list of fiction, much of it in translation.
