The best biography is Richard Ellmans, but it is quite long. There was a short biography published last year by, I believe, Penquin and I will try to dig up ...
It is a pleasure to join an organization dedicated to the greatest english prose writer of the last century. After numerous false starts I have just finished ...
I have read FW a couple of times, cover to cover. I am sorry that your experience was bad. The Tyndall, too, was probably a mistake in that it tends to be...
Hi from cold wet and windy Dublin. Forget the notion that Joyce left Ireland because of repression or a quest for freedom, etc. He left because of the weather!...
Can anyone recommend and authors who show a strong Joyce influence? <br><br>I've read a lot of Samuel Beckett and Andrey Bely - I know there are others like...
Hi,<br><br>Yes. There are two off-hand I can think of. In Science Fiction there is Samuel R Delaney whose Dhalgren, like the Wake starts and ends in the middle...
I also think Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow", Mervyn Peake's "Gormenghast" Trilogy, and William Gaddis' "The Recognitions" are very much infuenced ...
LudlowPress.com is looking for the next James Joyce!<br><br>Please check us out! James Joyce is my greatest inspiration as a publisher.<br><br>If you know of...
Thanks everyone for your replies - very helpful.<br><br>Just thought I'd clear something up: I said in my post that Andrey Bely was influenced by Joyce, when...
I know its still a few months away, but I'm curious about how different cities celebrate Bloomsday. The one here in Melbourne (Australia) is, I'm told, one of...
On May 10, 2002, the San Francisco Conservatory chorus will perform a concert which is also a composition competition. <br><br>Eight student composers have ...
Forgive me, this is just a silly silly thing. I got a 15 out of 15 in a recent English test, it was about James Joyce's "Ulysses". (I still go to school,...
You get to study Ulysses in school? I should have been so lucky. The University I'm attending offers a third-year subject that covers all of Joyce's prose work...
When I was at school (long ago) Ulysses was banned. This, of course, made it required reading for all us spotty adolescents in search of smut. Most were...
Well, actually, I live in Italy, and I am quite surprised you didn't study Ulysses at school. My English teacher said yes, it was banned, but I thought it was...
... Well, nothing stops anyone from banning books even today. The government has a harder time doing it than schools or city libraries. The American Library ...
Surprisingly, there is a copy of "Ulysses" in my public high school's library. Not surprisingly, I'm only the 2nd person who's ever checked it out from the ...
... Ulysses is surprisingly hard to find 'round these parts. Sure, it's arguably the best modern literature of the 20th century (or so says I and an army of ...
Hi - Spamguy, Lauramarr, Mona Lisa may I withdraw my remark about spotty adolescents. To find three 17 year olds who have read Ulysses was the last thing I...
... I didn't even notice the comment. I had to go searching for it in the archives to see what you meant. I wasn't hurt at all. a) I am spotty as it goes, and...
... Well, I am 19, but, yes, I am still a spotty adolescent and I will be a spotty adolescent forever. No, I haven't tried Finnegans Wake yet, I'm on Friedrich...
... Two statements in existence tie for status of "vaguest phrase:" 1. History involves various tidbits of conflict here and there. 2. Let's talk about James...
Good points :). History does indeed contain tidbits of conflict. But is it the duty of the just man to abstain or to join in and end swiftly? Pacifism gets my...
- I dont know if I'm revealing my tender age or just stupidity, but who ... Hi Another member of tender age? My old age perhaps makes me cynical but why...
I find it kind of funny you think the other guy and I are the same. I geniunely have no idea who Ayn Rand is. As for Joyce's treatment of Bloom... (deep...
