s works take place."Morris Beja, author of James Joyce: A Literary Life, and past President, the International James Joyce Foundation"This is a brave, richly informed, and candid book, an engaging mix of biography, auto-biography, and critical analysis. A godsend to teachers and students alike, it brilliantly demystifies Joyce, without compromising his complexity. It is a uniquely personal odyssey of discovery which all Joyceans will recognise as their own, too." Professor Terry Dolan, University College Dublin
