"The Dalkey Archive" is O'Brien's fifth and final novel -- in the author's words, "a study in derision". Among the targets of that derision are religiosity, intellectual abstractions, J.W. Dunne's and Albert Einstein's views on time and relativity, and the lives of Saint Augustine and James Joyce, both of whom have speaking parts in the novel. Set in the late 1940s in the village of Dalkey (some twelve miles south of Dublin), "The Dalkey Archive" joins O'Brien's renowned comic works At Swim-two-birds, The Third Policeman, et al, as among the great works of Irish fiction of the century.
