Description
One of Ireland's best current novelists provides a thumbnail sketch of Ireland's greatest writer. A passionate and sensuous portrait, James Joyce is a return to the land of politics, history, saints, and scholars that shaped the creator of the 20th century's groundbreaking novel, Ulysses. O'Brien traces Joyce's early days as a rambunctious young Jesuit student; his falling in love with a tall, red-haired Galway girl named Nora Barnacle on Bloomsday; and his exile to Trieste where he found success, love, and finally, despair. Joyce's raucous life as well as thoughtful commentary on his major writings is presented without the academic accoutrements that have made other Joyce biographies so difficult to read. O'Brien captures with simplicity the brilliance and complexity of this great master.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"O'Brien's triumph is that while celebrating Joyce and his ecstatic quest to lay image on counterimage...she has drawn the desperation and sadness of the man whose name means joy." (The New York Times Book Review)
"It is swift, moving, and brimming with the author's enthusiasms and her well-earned affection for a difficult colleague." (Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"Both the author and narrator Donada Peters handle the language of Joyce's major works, especially Ulysses, exceptionally well....Peters is unusually good at using inflection and maintaining an appropriate pace....Perfect for Joyce novices and devotees alike." (AudioFile)
