What is the best Dalkey Archive fiction that never got the attention it deserves? In this issue of the Review we introduce a new format and also go out on a limb to make the claim that here is the fiction that reviewers missed the boat on. Since Dalkey has the quixotic mission of keeping in print all the fiction it publishes, we want to give these books another chance, and we are staking our reputation on these selections being among the best fiction of the past thirty or so years. The first of what will become a regular feature of the Review, The Dalkey Archive Annual I includes work by authors as diverse as Wallace Markfield, Piotr Szewc, Osman Lins, Deborah Levy, Gert Jonke, Vedrana Rudan, Felipe Alfau, Gilbert Sorrentino, Mati Unit, Aidan Higgins, and many others. Future numbers of the Annual will feature work from forthcoming Dalkey Archive titles, introducing readers of the Review to the best new writing from around the world.

This issue publishes short stories by Cuba's most exciting contemporary writers, providing readers a unique opportunity to view both the life and art of a culture that has been shut off for almost half a century.
