Note to Self: Read This Book

The Dalkey Archive is a novel by the Irish writer Flann O'Brien. It is his fifth and final novel, published in 1964, two years before his death. It features a mad scientist, De Selby, who tries to destroy the world by sucking all the air out of the world. He has also very many inventions. He has exploited the theory of relativity and invented a kind of time traveling machine, which he uses to age his whiskey, creating brew that has been aged for many decades in a swift hour.
