Abstract
Adam Winstanley introduces this special issue of The Parish Review dedicated to 'Reading Brian O'Nolan's Libraries' with a tour d'horizon of archival and genetic criticism in O'Nolan studies. Drawing on the theories of Walter Benjamin, Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, and Sarah Dillon, Winstanley details a model for thinking the relational network between O’Nolan’s writings and the various textual materials contained within his library through 'palimpsestuous reading.'
